Mon 08 Aug 2007Double Take claims hunter prizeThe Comber, Co Down, team of Lesley Webb and Richard Iggulden claimed the Bewleys Hotels supreme hunter championship for the second year in a row for owner Yvonne Pearson.Orchard Cottage Stables had produced Pearson's four-year-old Magnifire to take the honours with Iggulden in the saddle 12 months ago, but it was Webb who made the right choice on Saturday, taking the ride on the lightweight champion Double Take. Iggulden was on board the medium-weight champion Millbank Classic, but it was Double Take's gallop that really caught the judges' eye in the judging for both the four-year-old title and the supreme.
