RICHARD Burton continued his quest for the jockey's championship at the Wheatland Hunt meeting at Chaddesley Corbett yesterday, taking his winning total to 40 when he rode Jemaro to victory in the Men's Open.

Burton appeared in trouble in the back straight but his mount stayed on to record a 10-length win from Saint Reverien.

Julian Pritchard showed the form that has made him the most successful point-to-point jockey when he partnered Lost In the Snow to victory in the first division of the young horse Maiden.

A mistake at the fourth last looked to have ended Pritchard's chance but he refused to give in and won by a head and a short-head. Sheppard's Eastnor stable scored a double later in the day when Fanion De Neulliac, ridden by Liam Payter, powered home to win the first division of the Club Members.
