HORSE RACING: Barbury Point-to-Point, December 16 2018

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.

Photos below, more available.

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

Emma is a very approachable, knowledgeable and chatty trainer – you can’t help capture a bit of national hunt spirit being at her Ogbourne Maizey base.
