MELPLASH teenager Carey Buckler stole the show at Seavington Hunt's point-to-point in Littlewindsor on Sunday.

The 19-year-old jockey landed two victories on board River Reine and Phar City and snatched a third place on Cloudy Blues. Her father, Bob Buckler, trains all three horses at his Melplash Court Farm stables.

Another popular winner at the picturesque West Dorset course was Richard Barber's Rimpton Boy. He took the Ladies' Open under a confident ride from leading lady Rachael Green.

Carey Buckler got her day off to a fantastic start with River Reine. The duo led off and easily defeated odds-on favourite Sir Cumference, ridden by Green.

Then in the sixth race she partnered Phar City, who finished second in a Hereford hunter chase two days earlier, to victory in the PPORA Novice Riders' race in equally emphatic fashion.

Carey is enjoying a gap year and, having completed three months' charity work in the Far East, will shortly embark on a two-month travelling holiday in South America.

Rimpton Boy easily out-pointed sole challenger Tony's Time to take his career tally to 23 and put Green on the 15-winner mark for this season.

Winning for the first time since the corresponding race in 2006, Rimpton Boy could yet run up a sequence this season if ground conditions prove suitable.

Neil Harris won the three-mile maiden on Lucky Penny and then repeated his 2006 Men's Open success on Southwestern.

Harris worked miracles to stay aboard Lucky Penny at the last fence and claim his first victory of the afternoon. He just held off the challenge of Craigmor to win by a short head.

Southwestern gave Camilla Scott her first training success after recently taking over the point-to-point licence from husband Jeremy Scott.

Richard Woollacott rode his 17th winner of the season when The Busy Farmer took the opening two-and-a-half mile maiden.

The meeting ended with an eventful two-runner Restricted.

After Simply Bruno had fallen early, Lady Purton continued solo under Polly Gundry until planting herself halfway through the final circuit.

Eventually the mare restarted and completed the race followed by three hunt servants. A stewards' enquiry found that Rule 122(2) had not been breached and the result stood.
