Burke remains upbeat about taking a medal at World Equestrian Games
One of just 25 riders to make it through, she is bidding to replace Co Down rider Dermott Lennon as world champion when the best four after today go into tomorrow’s final round.
Burke has only knocked one fence this week in three outings with her mount Chippison, and that came only after the stallion faltered when losing a shoe in competition. The performance has left her lying in 10th place in a tight scoring contest and, while she has reason to be confident, last night she felt it would be imprudent to look beyond today’s contest and dare to dream.
