SUNDAY was my first visit to Barbury point-to-point, and only my second ever point-to-point meeting.
It’s racing at its rawest, no grandstands, no shelter – just a field, a couple of bookmakers and a track in a field.
Every keen racegoer should try it, makes for interesting and eye-opening day out – far different from the increasingly commercialised ‘rules’ racing people watch on TV.

SEVEN races entertained racegoers at Warwick on Wednesday, with Nicky Henderson’s She Might Bite proving an interesting declaration.

MADE a visit to Emma Lavelle and her stables/gallops on a misty Thursday morning as part of my work at the Swindon Advertiser.
