Winder, from Kendal, Cumbria, recovered immediately and quickly took the lead.
Wilson, from Rothwell, Northamptonshire, found himself mid-field on the first lap but soon moved up to second place and was closing the gap over the eight-lap race on Woodford’s superb 1.7-mile hillside course. But Winder won by a comfortable margin.
In the second championship race, Wilson made a much better start and won the race, relegating Winder to second place.
Speedy and stylish, Winder settled for the safe second, maintaining his lead in the premier classic championship. Winder is now on course to win a third consecutive title.
