Max Warburton topped the four-year-old Dubarry Burghley Young Event Horse results with Patron Of Keros, in a final held at the Defender Burghley Horse Trials yesterday (5 September). This class features a dressage, showjumping and small cross-country competition, before horses are judged on conformation.

The top 10 at that stage are pulled forward for a go-round in all paces and a final gallop, judged this year by William Fox-Pitt.
