JOCKEY Richard Burton went to the Albrighton Woodland Hunt point-to-point at Chaddesley Corbett on Monday two winners behind his nearest rival Ashley Farrant in the championship race.

But, despite the Shropshire-based rider scoring a hat-trick, at the end of the day the status quo was maintained as Farrant matched his efforts with a three-timer in Devon.

Snowtre has given Burton three wins at a crucial stage of the season thanks to the generosity of his usual pilot Adrian Wintle and owner Jim Callow to aid Burton's championship bid.

Snowtre was chalking up his third win in the space of ten days for his Broome connections and was too speedy for The Campdonian over the final two fences.

With several confirmed front runners, the mixed open was always going to be run at a fast pace and Jemaro's victory to give Burton his second win, set a new course record.

His third was provided by Sabena Canyon who had been bought from Market Drayton sales for a modest sum by his owner Don Constable.

Rider Emma James from Stoke Bliss is enjoying her best ever season and increased her career tally when landing a first and last race double with Primitive Son and Franco Lady in the Maiden.

Lord Daresbury, or Peter Greenall as he was known then, was champion rider between the flags four times during the mid 1980s.

He enjoyed numerous successes at Chaddesley and was on hand to see his 17-year old son Oliver, a pupil at Shrewsbury, land his second ever win on Double Rich, with impeccable timing at odds of 10-1.
