TESTING ground took its toll on runners at Great Trethew point to point near Liskeard on Sunday where plenty of stamina was required to win. Richard Woollacott's great run of form continued with a rider/trainer double, initiated in the first of three maidens for four, five, six and seven year olds run over two and a half miles. This time Woollacott was on Denis Underhill's Lord's Bridge who won by a head from Royal Gemstone. Woollacott's next win came in the faster of the maidens when Lucy Fielding-Johnson's Primitive Quest won by a length from Alfie's Connection with Stillhertoes back in third after the three came down the final hill together. Bought at Ascot Sales last August for 1,100gns, the four year old's resemblance to Fielding-Johnson's good horse Teddy Boy prompted the purchase and she was subsequently broken in in September.
