Report, Results and Devon and Cornwall Area Champions and
Torrington Farmers’ Point to Point at Umberleigh, Saturday June 14
POLLY Gundry was crowned the national champion at the last point-to-point of the season held at Umberleigh on Saturday having ridden 39 winners. She just failed to match Polly Curling’s all-time record of 40 winners set in 1995, but she became the country’s most successful-ever champion having now won the title a record seven times.
The Torrington Farmers Hunt gave its usual fine finale to the season and thousands of people turned out to the north Devon venue to join in the celebrations for the new champions.“I’m thrilled and it’s been a wonderful season, but I couldn’t do it without all the support I have,” said Gundry who is also the Devon and Cornwall area champion.Long-time supporter Ross Oliver had taken two horses for Gundry to ride at the Devon track – Wee Fly and Let’s Fly. Let’s Fly, who has now been retired, was unplaced in the ladies’ which went to Fruitful Citizen and Wales-based Lucy Jones was subsequently crowned the national novice champion with nine winners.Cornwall-based Oliver said of his brilliant veteran Let’s Fly: “He’s run in 63 races, won 25 and been placed 23 times. He’s jumped over 2000 fences and he’s never fallen in his life, but he won’t jump at home! Polly has won 13 races on him and he gave Will Biddick his first ever winner. He’s been a wonderful horse to have and I’m please to have helped Polly win the championship again.”Richard Woollacott was crowned the Devon and Cornwall area champion for the fourth consecutive year having ridden 34 winners. “I’ve been very lucky with my owners and I have had a lot of support. Emely (Thompson) and the staff at home are all fantastic and I couldn’t do any of it without them,” said the 31-year-old.Woollacott finished second in the national championship to Oliver Greenall who added two more winners to his score of 54 at Umberleigh and thus beat the all-time record set by Ashley Farrant of 54 set in 2004.North Island landed the odds in the seven-runner men’s open and Special Order was the easy winner of the restricted – both for trainer David Easterby who had made the long trek to Devon from Yorkshire.Merv Woodward’s ride on Ninah in the last race of the season – the open maiden - earned plenty of plaudits not least from Grand National-winning trainer David Pipe who judged him to have given the best ride of the day. The seven-year-old mare is trained by Rodney Grant. The only other local winner on the six-race card was Claire Howarth’s Here Comes Harry who took the confined with Ian Popham on board.Confined: Here Comes Harry (I Popham) 1; Quick (Will Biddick) 2; The Quarry Man (Richard Woollacott) 3. 6mins 16.4s, 12l, 1½l.Restricted: Special Order (Oliver Greenall) 1; Alexander Musical (G Barfoot-Saunt) 2; Quantocks Lastbrat (M Wall) 3. 6mins 10.1s, 12l, 2l.

Point to Point preview Tiverton Staghounds at Bratton Down, June 8
THE penultimate meeting of the 2008 point-to-point season takes place at Bratton Down next Sunday. Nearly 180 entries have been received with seven races making up the card.
The members’ begins the action at 2pm then it’s the intermediate race. Some long distance travellers could head for Bratton Down, including George The Grey a winner of two this season who is qualified in Yorkshire. Ted One was narrowly defeated last week and could go one better while Ross Oliver’s Wee Fly is another with consistent form this season.The reliable Malton is also among the entries in the intermediate. His usual rider is Ollie Greenhall who reached a half century of winners at the weekend and has Ashley Farrant’s 2004 record of 54 winners in a season in his sights. Greenhall has a strong choice of rides in the men’s race which has 40 horses entered. Bow School and Chorizo are other entries for the David Easterby/Greenall combination with the latter needing two more wins to draw level with Iris’s Prince, on nine winners, for the Horse and Hound Cup. Von Origny and The Fairhill Boy, who both run in the colours of Lord Daresbury, are also entered and have done their fair share of winning this season. Of the others, Alice Fox-Pitt won an intermediate with Lord Code at the course with Richard Woollacott on board, and he won well enough to suggest he’s capable of stepping up to open class; Mr Cee has progressed nicely through the season; course winner Arctic Sky was the surprise 33-1 victor of the men’s last week, the John Dufosee-trained Who Else Knew has been consistent.
Ladies’ entries include Fleur De Nikos, the 13-length winner of the Ritchie Ladies’ Hunters’ Chase at Stratford in May, Dr Cerullo, who has won four this season, and Hi Tech Man. The 31 entries in the restricted include the Ollie Bush-trained Big Daves Legend, second at Barbury Castle in April, and last weekend’s two maiden winners Declan’s Choice and Embercombe. Ollie Greeall could ride either Quoquille des Sacart or Special Order. The maiden has been split into two divisions – in the second division Equivocate could go one better than his second at a Chaddesley Corbett last month and Ashwood has been consistent; while in the first divison Quantocks Lastbrat and Karley may go well.
The course is easily accessed off the A399 and entrance is £10 per car and driver, £5 per additional person up to £20.
South Tetcott at Upcott Cross – Bank Holiday Monday
THE South Tetcott attracted a total of 69 runners in the wind and rain at Upcott Cross on Bank Holiday Monday. Richard Woollacott reached a personal landmark of 150 point-to-point winners when successful in the Men’s Open on Range Rover. Owned by Lucy Dickinson and trained by Richard Barber, Range Rover relished the rain softened ground and drew clear of front running Sara Monica on the run in.
Woollacott is in cracking form at present and went on to complete a treble by winning both sections of the Open Maiden. Bethebestyoucanbe headed Ashclyst on the run in to take the first section, and 5 year old mare Steph’s Dream just held on in a close finish to the other division. Slipawayon put in a strong late run under Ryan Bliss and just failed to catch the winner after meeting interference on the run in. The winner and runner up came close together in the last few yards but any interference was deemed accidental at the subsequent stewards’ enquiry. Polly Gundry increased her lead over closest National title rival Rachael Green to six when Long Night just got the better of Rachael’s mount Brown Cockle in the Ladies’ Open. Polly had to give best to Lucy Gardner in the Confined when her mount Ballybrown went under to front running Winter Scene. Lucy was partnering her 10th winner of the season.
Charlotte Tizzard took the Intermediate on easy winner Coombe Hill. The winner is also trained by Charlotte for her father Alan. Coombe Hill drew clear in the home straight to beat Sliema by 20 lengths. On Your Toes just caught front running Dutch Bill to win the 16 runner Restricted. Jimmy Cole had Dutch Bill in front from flagfall, and looked a bit unlucky as his mount hung left under pressure to be headed on the post. The winner is trained by Gordon Chambers for owner Rita Heard, and was the 11th winner of the season for jockey Will White.
DULVERTON FARMERS POINT TO POINT at Treborough Hill, May 24 2008
POLLY Gundry tightened her grip on the National Ladies’ title with a double at the Dulverton Farmers meeting, taking her five clear of closest pursuer Rachael Green.
The new track at Treborough Hill attracted only small fields, but rode well according to the jockeys. “The jumps are well presented,” commented Richard Woollacott, backed up by Men’s Open winner Will White who said: “It’s a lovely track if a bit slippery round the bends.” (which were immediately sanded to help with the grip). Polly Gundry was even more enthusiastic, saying “on good ground this would be top class.” As it happened the ground was firm, exacerbated by the dry, windy conditions of this venue high on the Brendon Hills. From a spectators point of view, the contours of the track and cars parked in the centre of the course affected viewing. This was recognised by Area Chairman and Chief Steward Frank Yeo who said: “The layout of the course definitely needs attention from a viewing point of view, and changes are already being considered with a couple of good options in mind.”
Polly initiated her double with a hard fought win on Dr Cerullo in the Ladies’ Open. Tsar’s Twist (Lucy Gardner) and Dr Cerullo were locked in battle from the second last, with Dr Cerullo getting the verdict by a head to gain his fourth win of this campaign. Polly completed her double on board Ross Oliver’s six year old mare Wee Fly, who survived a blunder two out to win the Restricted at the expense of Hannah Bay and Two Mile Oak.
A treble beckoned for the leading lady rider as her mount Inching West was sent off 2-5 favourite to clinch the Open Maiden, but Lourd Hymn kept pulling out more when Inching West delivered her challenge in the home straight. The winner is owned by David Bryant and trained at Bodmin by his partner Sarah Townrow. “He needs firm ground” said the owner, who bought the rangy 7 year old at Ascot sales last July. Ed Glassonbury, 17, attached to Victor Dartnall’s yard, was riding his third winner of the season. Richard Woollacott was also in double form, taking his total for the season to 30. Richard is enjoying his best ever season, and is now a clear second behind Oliver Greenall for the National Men’s title. He got The King’s Fling home in the Hunt race before taking the Intermadiate on Run Of Kings. The King’s Fling defied a penalty to beat Shobrooke Mill and Newsplayer to follow up his Cotley win, and Run Of Kings repeated his recent Cothelstone victory by comfortably beating his stable companion Onemoredeal, with Riteway Round well held in third.
The Men’s Open went to Barney Blue who gave jockey Will White his tenth winner of the season. Saorsie and City General chased home the winner, who was scoring for the fourth time this year for his group of owners called The Nyland Partnership.
RESULTS:
Hunt race: 1 The King’s Fling (Mr R Woollacott); 2 Shobrooke Mill (Mrs C Farrant); 3 Newsplayer (Mr W Biddick); 3ran; 2 ½ l; 6l; 6 mins 44 secs

DULVERTON FARMERS AT TREBOROUGH HILL SATURDAY 24TH MAY
Preview by Granville Taylor on behalf of the Devon & Cornwall Point-to-Point Association
THE Dulverton Farmers point-to-point has attracted a well balanced total of 123 entries for the meeting on their new course at Treborough Hill on Saturday (May 24th). The meeting gets under way with the Hunt race at 2pm.
Rachael Green and Polly Gundry are still locked in battle for the National Ladies’ title. Rachael’s win on Novikova Rose at Bratton Down left her just three behind Polly, and there was no change the following day when Polly’s three rides at Clifton-on-Teme were all placed. Rachael has a strong hand in the Ladies’ at Treborough, with her boss Richard Barber able to choose between Oracle des Mottes, Rimpton Boy, Rye Brook and Reviewer. Polly’s best chance looks to rest with Dr Cerullo, but the in-form Kingsmill Lake could spoil the party for the leading Ladies’.Range Rover is the Barber nomination for the Men’s Open, where the 20 entries also include recent winners Barney Blue, Dad Says Heazle, Askers Jack, Diamond Monroe and Here Comes Harry. Richard Woollacott has been in unstoppable form lately and can choose between Concert Pianist and The King’s Fling. Woollacott has Vauterhill winner Two Mile Oak, Primitive Quest and Austin Approved amongst the 25 entries for the Restricted. This race looks particularly competitive with several progressive Maiden winners likely to line up. Rachael Green can ride Cotley winner Master Mark, and Polly Gundry is likely to renew her partnership with Wee Fly. Marias Rock, Jack’s Taxi, Incoady and Fairly Glorious are all recent winners with sound claims.
The Open Maiden looks even trickier and a case can be made for many of the 32 entries. Inching West was well backed and only just denied at Vauterhill and can go one better for up and coming rider Jenny Carr. Ashley Farrant’s yard has hit form recently and the Bampton trainer has King’s Wood, Quick, Visibility and Party Pictures amongst the 14 entries for a strong looking Hunt race. Cookies Bank won his Vauterhill race impressively and would be hard to beat if chosen above Lords Bridge and The King’s Fling by Richard Woollacott. Sarah Faulks has Cento and Tony’s Time in the line up, and Sarah Prouse has both Shobrooke Mill and Ted One entered. Secretary Jenny Hayes is “delighted by the quality and quantity of the entries”, and reports that the new course is ready to provide some exciting racing. The track is located alongside the B3224 between Raleighs Cross and Wheddon Cross. Entry costs £10 per car and driver with £5 for each additional passenger.
TETCOTT POINT TO POINT REPORT – Devon & Cornwall point-to-point Association RICHARD Woollacott was the jockey in form at the Tetcott meeting at Vauterhill. The reigning Devon and Cornwall area champion rode his first ever four timer, taking his total for the season to 24, and elevating him to second position for this year’s National Men’s title. Woollacott was also responsible for training three of his winners, Cookies Bank, Lord’s Bridge and Two Mile Oak. Sue Condry’s Cookies Bank just held off Newsplayer to win the Confined after leading from the 15th fence. “He stays for ever and jumped better when the pace quickened,” explained the winning rider. Lords Bridge also just prevailed in a driving finish to the Restricted after Polly Gundry and Blackcomb Mountain had thrown down a strong challenge from the second last. Bought at Doncaster last August for owner Den Underhill, Woollacott said the horse “doesn’t settle early”, but he showed plenty of determination to follow up his Great Trethew maiden success. Two Mile Oak had ten lengths to spare in the first Open Maiden division. The eventual runner up College Time and Jimmy Cole made a bold bid to make all until blundering at the final ditch, allowing Two Mile Oak to stride clear. The winner had shown little form until now, but the combination of first time blinkers and fast ground seemed to do the trick. The Double Trigger six year old, bought out of Sarah Williams’ yard, is owned by Brian and Brenda Heath, together with Dick Westacott. Woollacott’s other winning ride on And All That Jazz in the nine runner Mares Maiden came from the Lydford yard of Pauline and Tony Geering. Jenny Carr’s mount Inching West looked a big danger crossing the last, but the Morpeth mare And All That Jazz stayed on gamely to win by a length. “She needs firm ground and was a bit fitter today”, said Pauline. Winning owners David and Terri Fisher bred the mare from their winning pointer Kindly Lady. And All That Jazz was the first winner of the season for her trainers, but that success was soon doubled when 12 year old Jaunty Janner won a match for the Intermediate Novice Riders’ race. 18 year old Sam Allwood was partnering his 8th winner of the season on Jaunty Janner, owned and bred by David Congdon. “He is a very safe jumper and has never fallen”, remarked Pauline Geering. There was also a match for the Men’s Open which saw winning jockey Ian Chanin take his pointing total for the season into double figures. Chanin’s mount Vigzol was not hard pressed to beat his sole rival Spinning Silver, who is worth bearing in mind for a future Bratton Down outing. Vigzol was winning for the third time this season for owner/trainer/ breeders Richard and Sheralyn King. It was good to see Let’s Fly thoroughly enjoying himself in repeating last year’s win in the Ladies’ Open. Polly Gundry soon had the veteran out in front of his three rivals and their winning margin over Matrix (Nicola Rovai) was 7 lengths. “That was the 25th win of his career, including 4 under rules in his younger days”, said owner/trainer Ross Oliver. Polly’s winning ride took her 5 clear of Rachael Green at the top of the National Ladies’ table. The concluding Open Maiden also attracted four runners and may have revealed a smart performer in the previously unraced Party Pictures. Darren Edwards kept the 5 year old under tight restraint until the final circuit, allowing his mount to head runner up Catch You Later after the final ditch for a comfortable success. Party Pictures is owned by Ashley and Caroline Farrant, and was bought privately in Ireland. “He is a big baby but works as well as anything at home”, said Ashley who had also trained King’s Wood to win at Holnicote on the previous day.

POINT –TO-POINT REPORT MODBURY HARRIERS AT FLETE PARK MARIE McGuiness saddled a double at Flete Park on Saturday where Polly Gundry, who leads the national championship, was also in double form.Over To Charlie had been readied for a run under Rules, but a cough ruled her out and trainer Philip Hobbs suggested she had a summer at home before being tried in point-to-points. She duly won the open maiden in good style under Gundry on her second start.Her owner/breeder, former international showjumper and commentator Stephen Hadley who leases her to Di Milsom and Michael Bates, said: “I sent her to Ginny Turnbull and she showjumped for a while. She is a natural jumper and if she’s no good as a racehorse she’ll go eventing.”It was a late decision to run at Flete, but with the ground in good order, Hadley was delighted with the mare’s performance. “I’m really pleased with the way she has jumped today,” he said.McGuiness also trained restricted winner Winning Connection who out battled Ryeman and Wee Fly on the run-in to win by half a length under Richard Woollacott.Gundry’s second winner came on Benarina who was a first ever success for owner Shirley Wills. The mare is trained by Gundry and Ed Walker and was bought last December at Exeter Market. The Gordon Chambers-trained Sara Monica gave a text book round of jumping under Will White to win the men’s open, her second success at the course this season. The 11 year old will eventually be retired for stud duties but if the ground is right she’ll be out again this season.Emily Nozskay rode a well time race on Kingsmill Lake to win the ladies’ open. Trainer Jackie Du Plessis said a hunter chase at Stratford could be next on the agenda for the ten year old. Noszkay, 19, was awarded the Totnes and Bridgetown Races Co Ltd Trophy for the leading novice rider at the course, but there was a sad end to the day for the du Plessis family after their home bred Miss Ziggerson collapsed and died having finished third in the confined.The race went to Fort of Gold who is owned by Jimmy Frost and trained by his wife Nikki. Stuart Payne, who was in the saddle, was recording his fifth win in the Devon and Cornwall area. “He’s a grand schoolmaster and he jumps really well. He’s such a genuine horse too,” he said. RESULTSOpen maiden: Over To Charlie (P Gundry) 1; Fine Enough (S Ellis) 2.

Axe Vale at Stafford Cross - A PLAN hatched months ago paid off for Peter Gibbons after his home bred mare Tandori won the members’ race at the Axe Vale meeting on Sunday.Gibbons farms the land on which the point-to-point is held and the six-year-old was foaled there. “My father-in-law owns the land and I farm it and we foaled Tandori just over there,” said Gibbins who added that it had been a long held ambition to win his local hunt race.Trained by Nikki Frost in South Devon, the mare was ridden by Stuart Payne who had a memorable weekend having ridden Fort of Gold to win at Trebudannon the previous day. “She liked the better ground and she jumped a lot better today,” said Payne who is now on the five winner mark for the season.Rachael Green added two more winners to her tally, the first coming aboard the Richard Barber-trained Spuddler’s Dream in the confined. “Trying to keep him together is the main thing. He’s gone wrong twice in the past and whether he runs again this season will depend upon how he comes out of this,” said Barber.A visit to a stallion may have done the trick for Castle Cazza said trainer Monique Pike after she won the intermediate. “She’s a very keen mare and she settled nicely today for Rachael. This is also the first time she’s had her ground and its nice for her owner John Russell who bred her,” she added.Ryan Bliss was another jockey who rode a double, the first coming on Who Else Knew in the mixed open who made several mistakes but still managed a three quarters of a length victory from Tyneham. “The jockey said he didn’t like these Devon fences,” said his owner Bernard Pike. Bliss scored again for trainer John Dufosee when Diflock, who was making his racecourse debut, took the second open maiden for his owner/breeder Sherilyn King. “I’m absolutely stunned and didn’t expect that. He was nearly put down as a foal and we broke him in last summer,” said King.The first maiden went to the Chloe Newman-trained Tres Bien who was suited to the flat track and fast going after a string of decent placed efforts this season. Owner Mike Tozer said: “We’ve waited a long time for the ground.”Sam Matthews scored his third win of the season on Harbridge who took the novice riders’ race and the restricted went to the Charlotte Tizzard trained and ridden Coombe Hill. “I think he’s one of the most underrated horses. He’s finished second four times this season and won twice now,” remarked the geldings owner, and Charlotte’s father Alan Tizzard.ENDSFour Burrow Report THE Four Burrow fixture at Trebudannon attracted a total of 83 runners on ground described by jockeys as riding on the fast side of good. There was early drama in the Mixed Open when the favourite Croix de Guerre unseated Diana Hobbs on the bend after the 8th fence. Course specialist Let’s Fly led until the ninth, but Charlotte Tizzard, paying her first visit to the track, always had Swift Wood handy and sent the nine year old clear of Braeroy after the final ditch to score easily. The winner, jointly owned by Peter Clarke and Richard Dunsford, acts well on fast ground, but had injured a leg at Cheltenham last May in a hunter chase. “We had his near fore tendon injected for that injury”, said trainer Keith Cumings. The gelding had run well on his come back at Barbury Castle recently and could well go hunter chasing again before the end of the season. 21 year old Stuart Payne landed his fourth point-to-point winner of the season with a positive ride on Fort of Gold to take the Intermediate. This consistent gelding had given Rev Simon Beveridge his first winner at Wadebridge earlier this season, but the Reverend’s military duties have had to take precedence lately. Trainer Nikki Frost reported that Fort of Gold, originally found by Gerald Penfold in Ireland, “is still for sale”. Darren Edwards must have enjoyed his win on Master Kevin in the Restricted. Owned and trained by Hugh Thomas on Exmoor, Master Kevin cruised up to the hard ridden leader Winning Connection at the second last, and was never off the bit with Darren looking cheekily across at rival Ian Popham all the way up the run in before easing Master Kevin ahead near the line. The remainder of the card consisted of four maiden races. Shaabs Quest just held the favourite Lucette Annie to win the mares maiden under Will Biddick despite idling on the run in. Ross Oliver gained some consolation for the defeat of Let’s Fly when his 6 year old Hardknott won a division of the youngsters maiden under Mark Munrowd. Ross trains his pointers only three miles from the course at St Mawgan and bought Hardknott for 1400 gns at Doncaster in October 2006. The other two and a half miles maiden for young horses went to the previously unraced four year old Point West, who just got the better of Fairly Glorious in a driving finish. Owner/trainer Sarah Faulks bought Point West at the Scarvagh Stud sale in Ireland last October. “I bought him unbroken and have taken it very slowly with him”, she explained. Danny Cook was riding his 6th winner of the season on Point West, and quickly added to that total when Major Matt beat 13 opponents in the three miles Open maiden. Major Matt ran a bit green when tackled by runner up Turnworth approaching the last, but was always holding the upper hand on the run in. Ollie Jackson has charge of this six year old for owner Brian Kilpatrick.

Eggesford at Upcott Cross Saturday April 12 RICHARD Barber saddled a treble at Upcott Cross on Saturday where times were slow but racing was of the highest order.Mud lovers had conditions just right and Range Rover came home the seven length winner of the restricted under Nick Williams. Lucy Dickinson bought the seven year old as a yearling and he’s now won two for the season.Barber’s wife Viv was the happy owner of second maiden winner Just There, a chance buy at Ascot Sales. The seven year old was considered the outsider of Barber’s two in the race but he pulled right away from Cool Friend to give Rachael Green her 19th winner of the season.Green had earlier scored on Brown Cockle, the first of Barber’s three winners, in the Devon National Mixed Open, run over four miles.His owner Bill Dupont had earlier taken the second Exeter Racecourse Intermediate with Braeroy, trained by Louise Alner, who put up an impressive performance in the more competitive of the two divisions carrying 11 lbs more than second place Mr Bennett.“I bought this horse through Robert Alner and I won’t be selling him,” said Dupont.Richard Woollacott’s fine run of form continued with a back to back double. Big Brendan was a comfortable winner of the hunt race while John Symes’ Whizzaar showed signs he’s as good as the lofty impression he gave a season ago. Upsides over the last with Lord of the Road, the pair matched strides to the line with Whizzaar getting a neck verdict. Trainer Emely Thompson said: “It’s been a case of gaining his confidence. He fell on his last run last season and fell first time out this season, We’ve always thought an awful lot of him.”So Long scored her fourth win of the season in the confined, surging ahead on the turn for home and scoring comfortably under Neil Harris, keeping up Camilla Scott’s fine record this season.Fastest of the three maiden winners was Duxy Hill Lady who was recently transferred to Ed Walker and Polly Gundry who rode the six year old for her owners Kim Tripp and Francis Read. Polly is now 25 winners for the season and leads the national champiomnship.
Lucy Gardner’s bargain buy Be Brief, bought at Doncaster Sales for 500gns as a yearling, had been running well this season, finishing second at Kilworthy, and took the second maiden by a 20 length margin.

SPOONERS & WEST DARTMOOR PRO report Despite a covering of snow on the track in the morning and a heavy 20 minutes snow shower after the third race, racing went ahead in the face of the wintry conditions at Cherrybrook on the edge of Dartmoor. The useful ex-hurdler Quick made all the running to win the Mixed Open under Will Biddick. Now transferred from David Pipe to Ashley Farrant, Quick held on well to shrug off the challenge of Oracle des Mottes after this pair had drawn clear from the third last. “I have had several horses placed but this is my first winner of the season”, said Ashley, adding that Quick’s absent owners called the Kinsford Champagne Partnership are “still celebrating David Pipe’s Grand National win”. 18-year-old Nick Scholfield had got round in the National at his first attempt on the previous day, and found himself in the winner’s enclosure when his only mount at Cherrybrook, Foolish Myth, scored easily in the 15 runner Restricted. “We have the Red Mills Intermediate Final at Cheltenham in May as his main objective”, said David Staddon, who trains the promising 6 year old at Ditcheat with his fiancée Caroline Parsons for owner / breeders Richard and Deborah Webb. Polly Gundry forged further ahead in her Ladies’ Championship quest when steering home Kiama in the Intermediate. This progressive mare was achieving her seasonal hat trick. “She doesn’t really like it soft” said Polly, although by now the snow had eased the ground even further, and the winner had put in an impressive performance. It was good to see Mandy Hand back in the saddle after an absence of three years, and she resumed winning ways on board Dante’s Back, who repeated last year’s Hunt race victory. “I gave up race riding after breaking my collar bone on my last ride in April 2005”, explained Mandy, who looked to thoroughly enjoy the occasion and can reflect on a career which saw her ride 132 winners prior to her “retirement”. At the other end of the age scale, 17 year old Ed Glassonbury rode the second winner of his career when Philomena mastered Diamond Monroe in the closing stages of the Confined Novice Riders’ event. The winner is trained by Gail Haywood for her father Malcolm, who bought the mare “over the phone” at Ascot sales just over two years ago. The sturdy grey Noquieto stayed on strongly under Richard Woollacott to win the faster of the two Confined Maidens. The seven year old had several solid placed efforts to his name, and came good here despite making a hash of the penultimate. Marie McGuinness has charge of the French bred gelding for the aptly named Blue Rinses Partnership. In the other division the Gordon Chambers trained What A Moose shook off his pursuers after the third last under Will White, and kept on well to hold the late effort of Treble Trigger.

East Cornwall at Great Trethew Sunday March 30 TESTING ground took its toll on runners at Great Trethew on Sunday where plenty of stamina was required to win.Richard Woollacott’s great run of form continued with a rider/trainer double, initiated in the first of three maidens for four, five, six and seven year olds run over two and a half miles.This time Woollacott was on Denis Underhill’s Lord’s Bridge who won by a head from Royal Gemstone.Woollacott’s next win came in the faster of the maidens when Lucy Fielding-Johnson’s Primitive Quest won by a length from Alfie’s Connection with Stillhertoes back in third after the three came down the final hill together.Bought at Ascot Sales last August for 1,100gns, the four year old’s resemblance to Fielding-Johnson’s good horse Teddy Boy prompted the purchase and she was subsequently broken in in September.Second on Alfie’s Connection, Neil Harris went one better on So Long in the Exeter Racecourse Intermediate, making it ten for the season for trainer Camilla Scott. Harris gave his usual patient ride on the eight-year-old, holding her up until the turn for home and riding her to a three length success. It was the third time the mare has won this season and having broken down badly two years ago soft ground is the key to her success.Martin Sweetland was gifted the second maiden when the leaders Will Scarlet and Ashclyst made their exits at the final two fences. The pair had pulled away from the rest of the field but Will Scarlet fell at the second last and Ashclyst went through the wing at the last leaving Sweetland to win on Erin Niering’s seven-year-old who has benefitted from extensive schooling at home.Lishen Storm’s run of seconds finally came to an end when he came home the easy winner of the men’s open under Tim Dennis. “Every time we’ve run him we’ve come against a better horse,” said his owner/trainer Lee Glanville who added that he may run in a hunter chase at Exeter before the season ends.Just two went to post in the ladies’ open with Emily Noszkay winning on the Jackie Du Plessis-trained Kingsmill Lake. Jenny Carr finished second on Fleur De Nikos but was subsequently disqualified for going the wrong side of some markers.The Mills’ family’s home bred Sigford’s Way was popular in the market to win the confined maiden and she did so in good style under Alice Mills coming home the easy winner from Contrary King.Alice, whose mother Janine trained the winner, is currently enjoying a spell with leading trainer Alan King.Mr Bennett added to his maiden success at the course a month ago when he took the restricted in the hands of Daniel Cook. Trained by Olivia Jackson, the five-year-old was carrying the famous colours of Brian Kilpatrick. “I was playing it safe. It was quite testing but he’s gone through it. He’s certainly the best horse I’ve ever sat on,” said Cook.
LAMERTON POINT-TO-POINT at Kilworthy, Saturday, March 22 GALE force winds sweeping over Dartmoor threatened the Kilworthy meeting, and the usual marquees could not be erected in the gales which showed no signs of relenting all afternoon. The use of Livestock transporters as temporary accommodation kept the show on the road, and the meeting was rewarded with a good quality turn out of 63 runners for the seven races. Rockwithacaveman has been one of the finds of the season and found little difficulty in stepping up to record his first Open victory and his fifth win of the campaign under Polly Gundry. Polly was temporarily sidelined with an ankle injury last week – “she was spurred on to get back by missing two winning rides at Wadebridge ” said her partner and joint trainer Ed Walker. “She got clearance after x-rays at Swindon and was back schooling on Thursday” he added. Rockwithacaveman drew clear of runner up Jalons Star up the final hill to win impressively in the fastest time of the day. He may be aimed at the Exeter Racecourse Intermediate Hunter Chase Final providing the ground stays soft. It was certainly soft at Kilworthy on Saturday, and Massimo landed some solid bets when winning the Intermediate in a time only fractionally slower than the Open. This lightly raced eight year old was completing a double for Michael Miller, who sent his mount from last to first in a rapid manoeuvre six fences from home, eventually scoring by eight lengths from a tiring Whizzar. Massimo was a first training success for Angela Davis who has two pointers to look after at Rimpton. She is head girl to licensed trainer John Ryall, and trains this former bumper winner for a small syndicate which includes John Boulter, who originally bought the horse in France. He has had tendon trouble since being placed over hurdles. Dorset rider Michael Miller had initiated his double when Dusty Bandit followed up his Buckfastleigh win in the Confined. “He jumps economically and we may try a Hunter Chase,” said trainer Ben White. Withiel Lad and Noeud Vert fought out the finish of the 14 runner Restricted after Kingsmill Lake had run out when leading at the second last. Will Biddick was partnering his ninth winner of the season on Withiel Lad, who just held the strong late challenge of Noeud Vert. The Confined Maiden races were also well filled with 12 runners in each section. Polly Gundry just missed out on a double when her mount Karley, who just led at the last, weakened up the final climb in the first division. Long time leader Hannah Bay rallied gamely to provide Alice Mills with her first winner of the season. “I was ill in bed on Thursday” said the pale looking rider, who certainly showed no ill effects in driving home the game mare Hannah Bay. This home bred winner is owned and trained by Deborah Treneer, and was reported to have done 20 days hunting before Christmas. Tim Dennis returned from injury to win on Brook Castle in the other division. Tim had been off since a fall at Great Trethew a month ago and had to pull out all the stops to hold the promising Be Brief. It was apt that he should have the mount on Brook Castle, since he found the six year old in Ireland, and trains the gelding for Morewenstowe-based owners Alan and Carolyn Colwill, and John Nancekivell. The consistent Coffee Morning gave Charlotte Horsley her second success in the Hunt race, just holding the late challenge of Loup du Sud.

Report and Results from the Western Point-to-Point - 15 Mar 08 THE Western meeting featured a first ever treble for Will Biddick and a first ever double for the popular Tavistock-based rider Jimmy Cole.Heavy going meant stamina sapping ground at Wadebridge but this proved little inconvenience for the promising Ballybrown, who initiated Biddick’s hat trick with a comfortable success in the Intermediate. Ballybrown’s trainer Becky Kennen said that her charge “needed to gain his confidence and would have benefited from this”. He may be aimed at the final of this series at Exeter. Biddick was left clear on the imposing grey Hollandia to win the Restricted when Captain Machell departed at the penultimate. Owner/trainer Mary Sanderson has her eye on a novice hunter chase for the seven-year-old, who was bought at Doncaster sales last May out of Henrietta Knight’s yard.The Open Maiden was divided on the day due to safety grounds and Biddick rode a confident waiting race on Arvakur, who was followed home by Cantcallhertrigger and Sigford’s Way. 21-year-old Biddick was riding with an ankle heavily strapped up. “I had five stitches in my lip and have had a lot of physio for my ankle which was bruised and sprained in a fall at Ottery two weeks ago,” said the successful jockey. Jimmy Cole initiated his double on his own mare Holly Walk in the Confined before steering home Miles Pengelly’s Doof to win the Men’s Open at the expense of the disappointing Sea Snipe. “Holly Walk’s long term objective is a Cheltenham hunter chase in May,” said the elated Cole. Doof’s connections nominated a hunter chase at Exeter for this game little gelding’s next outing.Ankle injuries were definitely in fashion last weekend. Leading lady jockey Polly Gundry had chipped a bone in her right ankle at the Cheltenham festival last week, but was in attendance to help her partner Ed Walker saddle Arvakur and the Ladies’ winner Dr Cerullo. Polly had to miss these winning rides, but 19-year-old Jenny Carr, who works in the yard, deputised in good style on Dr Cerullo, who pulled away from runner up Tsar’s Twist four out.
Lucy Gardner had been denied on Tsar’s Twist, but Paul Tylor’s home bred Mr Woodrow gave Lucy her sixth winner of the season in one of the divided maidens. The winner was being pressed by the favourite Stillhertoes (Richard Woollacott) when the latter capsized at the second last.
PREVIEW for Sat 15 March 2008 - The WESTERN Point to Point THE Western point-to-point gets under way at 12.30pm on Saturday (15th March) on the Royal Cornwall Showground. Innocent Rebel is unbeaten this season and heads the entries for the Ladies’ Open. Champion jockey Claire Allen teams up again with the useful 7 year old who already has two course wins to his credit this season. He also beat subsequent winner Goblet of Fire at Buckfastleigh last month and will take some stopping here. Dr Cerullo and Sea Snipe would be his main rivals. Sea Snipe is also entered for the Men’s Open. It would be good to see the mare return to her best form, and she may be opposed here by Nditlir and The Quarry Man, who filled the placings behind Southwestern at Ottery recently. Nditlir is coming back to her best, and also has an entry in the Confined. Holly Walk and King Georges may provide the main dangers. Ballybrown won his Restricted impressively at Wadebridge last month and came up against two smart performers in Off Broadway and Slaezy in the East Devon Intermediate. He looks a decent bet in a similar race this Saturday. Gordon Chambers sent out Ansa The Question to win at Buckfastleigh last Sunday and has two interesting prospects on the Wadebridge card with On Your Toes in the Restricted and Stillhertoes in the Open Maiden. The Royal Cornwall Showground is located 1 mile west of Wadebridge on the A39. Entrance for cars costs £11 per car and driver (to include £1 donation to the Countryside Alliance) with £5 for each additional passenger.
Point to Point report
Dartmoor at Flete, South Devon, Saturday April 19 RICHARD Woollacott booted home another double at Flete Park on Saturday, taking his tally to 18 and a step closer to a first ever national title. The crowds kept away from the rain drenched course, but racing was probably as good as has been seen at the track.Come What Augustus was confined to six weeks box rest in January with an injury, but he won the 13-runner restricted in good style. Emely Thompson, who trains the gelding for Bill Westaott, said: “We bought him through Robert Stronge. He’s a bit of a monkey but he’s a lovely horse and seems to act on any ground.”The Quarry Man was the easy winner of the confined for Woollacott who said: “He’s quite a tough horse as he only ran six days ago. We were uncertain whether to run him but it looked a relatively easy race so we decided to and it has paid off.”Woollacott missed out on a treble with favourite The Kings Fling who found Sara Monica a length too good in the men’ four mile open. Jackie Elliot’s mare, who continued trainer Gordon Chambers’ good run of form, was ridden by Will White. “She jumped really well and seemed to enjoy that,” said the winning jockey who is getting married in October to Milly Rowe.Nikki Frost saddled a double initiated by Dad Says Heazle in the intermediate, the day’s most impressive winner, with Darren Edwards on board.Chris Brake, husband of owner Jane, said the Exeter Racecourse Intermediate Final on May 14 was the target and he admitted having a little bet on the favourite.16-year-old Jamie Thomas scored his first ever success on only his second ride on the yard’s other winning favourite Iamwhatiam who took the first division of the maiden. Thomas, who works for Jimmy Frost, had his first ever ride at Great Trethew last month where he finished third on the home owned and bred six-year-old who is by the family’s stallion Morpeth.Thomas joined the Frosts for two and half years ago when he was put on a supervised school training scheme. Mrs Frost said: “He lives in Newton Abbot and he used to go the races instead of school so he came to us and a teacher would come every month to monitor his progress. While other boys were pinning up pictures of Beckham, he’d be pinning up pictures of Tony McCoy. He was thrown right in at the deep end today and we are amazed at how well he has done but he carried out our instructions really well.” Jackie Du Plessis’ home bred Kingsmill Lake took her tally to five, the same as her dam Kingsmill Imp, after holding off the favourite Quick by a length in the ladies’ open. Jockey Emily Nozskay, who works for Du Plessis, said: “She jumped brilliantly and gave me a lovely ride.”Ollie Jackson had doubts whether Ryeman would stay the trip in the second maiden, but Denis Williams’ home bred six-year-old but up a good performance to win by six lengths in the hands of Danny Cook who had just the one ride.Five went to post in the members with odds on favourite Bucket Awl landing his fourth success of the season ridden by Jenny Carr.RESULTSMembers: Bucket Awl (ire) (Miss C Carr) 1; Four of a Kind (T.
