Burghley Horse Trials - day 2: Jock Paget top after dressage
The New Zealand rider was last into the arena before this morning’s coffee break and he produced a mistake-free test to earn a score of 38.8.
Jock was disqualified after the competition last year when Clifton Promise tested positive for the banned substance reserpine. However Jock was cleared of any wrongdoing by an FEI tribunal last month.
