THE 2010 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, Imperial Commander, warmed up for the Dublin Horse Show when winning the open racehorse to riding horse class at the Lisburn & Saintfield District Show in Balmoral Park last Saturday.

Ridden by Anna Ross, who was also on board the 2001 Flemensfirth gelding when he finished sixth at the RDS last August, the bay topped the line-up of judges Susan Oakes and Denise Colebrook.
