May 31, 2024 – Devon, PA – Switching up the country on the leaderboard tonight it was Great Britain’s Grace Debney and Temple Equestrian, LLC’s Zarina de Vidau (Diamant de Semilly x Carina) who took the win in the $38,700 Jaguar Land Rover Main Line Devon Speed Derby.

In true derby fashion, course designer Alan Wade’s (IRE) track spanned across both the Dixon Oval and Wheeler Ring prompting horse and rider combinations to gallop under the iconic “Where Champions Meet” sign to make their way down to the final obstacles.

Debney flew through the timers in a time of 74.46, with one down, time converted faults put the pair at 78.46 to take home the win over Jimmy Torano and his own Kochio Z who posted a clear round in 78.82 to capture second place. Rounding out the podium in third was Jessica Mendoza, also representing Great Britain, and her own I-Cap CL Z with a time of 79.21.
