Ryedale Point to Point Racing Club

When we set up twelve years ago we were the first ever point to point racing club in the UK. Since then we have had at least one horse racing for us each season and there has only be one season when we havenot had a winner. Iron Express was out latest winner when he took the Ladies Open at Flagg Moor in 2006. If you love point to pointing this is the club for you.

IRON EXPRESS AND SWALEDALE AT DOWNHILLS

We all had a fun day at corbridge, not quite as cold as last year but a bit breezy! Many thanks to Sue Bradbury for lending us her horses box to get there. Ivan was back to form, running a blinder and finished third to Boy names Sioux and Interdit, his exuberant jumping was a spectacle to watch but with running with quite so much freshness he did not quite last home over 3m 5 furlong. He seems ok this morning and had not left an oat last night.Swaledale reverted back to his wayward behaviour, and when pushed wide after 1 1/2 mile was pulled up - very disappointing, opinion is divided on him, but as he has come back fine he will run again on Saturday. If we can harness his streak and get him dropped in he may make something of himself - we wont perservere forever but shall continue to run him whilst the ground decent. It is shame that Oliver has so many horses as he got the best tune out of him, and I dont think it helps the horse changing partners all the time. Swaledale on the way to the post

Iron Express (third place )takes the lead .
