I was pretty gutted that I couldn't watch the Hickstead Derby on TV as, it's been dropped by the BBC (idiots!) and I don't have Sky Sport :( Then I was even more miffed when I read that it had been won by one of my favourite riders- Tina Fletcher. So, I thought I'd take a look on Youtube. So far no luck on the TF front but did find this pretty good one of Shane Breen winning the Hickstead Speed Derby which shows what a great show jumping challenge the Derby is. We need more show jumping like this!!! Will keep looking for Tina or any other good vids from the Derby, and if you find one before me, please add it :)

Michael Whitaker, classy as always, negotiating the Hickstead bank. Wonder if the Whitakers have one at home to practice on?

As I haven't got Sky sports I was pleased to watch edited highlights from the Hickstead Derby on H&C TV. However I didn't think the photography was as good as the BBC's and even my husband came in and said without any prompting that he thought they needed to zoom in closer. Is it just me-or did anyone else watch it and think it wasn't as well filmed and lost the scale of the jumps?
