THE Monmouthshire Hunt point-to-point meeting at Llanvapley on Saturday had success for both ends of the career spectrum with doubles for riders James Tudor and Dai Jones.
Nineteen year-old Reading University student James Tudor is commencing his career and he scored his first ever double aboard Mecca Prince in the Confined where they came home a distance clear of the other finisher Danny Gale.
He then followed that up with an all the way success in the Open race aboard Waders.
Waders was never troubled by the other joint favourite, Fate A Compli and Daic Mansell, as Tudor brought his mount home a comfortable eight length winner.
Jones in contrast with over 128 career wins is one of the more senior riders on the circuit but he scored wins in both divisions of the Restricted Open aboard Books Way and Gold Kriek.
The Ladies Open race was an easy win for the odds-on favourite Hee's A Dancer and Emily Jones who once the other well fancied Toskano had pulled up injured was left to come a distance clear of runner up Young Manny.
