Upcoming Point To Points and Hunterchase's

A great day at Horseheath today. Weather perfect, 38 runners in six races and oh yes my racing buddy and I went through the card 😎😎. However the day was marred by the demise of Givega 😢.
Don’t forget there is a livestream PtP meeting from Cocklebarrow tomorrow on You Tube a link on page 2 of this thread 😉

Cracking day's racing at Larkhill yesterday with big fields (58 runners in total)
I really do love Larkhill. It is an exceptional place for a course with so much space. Big crowd too for a January and loads of trade stands. Plus it was the Royal Artillery meeting so a good number of soldiers there plus they had a stand and were wandering around chatting to the public. Real feel-good day.
The racing was great too with Grace A Vous Enki winning his ninth race there out of 9 visits - clearly loves the place.
Lucas Murphy took advantage of a last fence fall by his market rival and took the Novice Riders (this race has been referred to the BHA though due to wrong weights being published so he could lose that) on the former Pual Nicholls Histrionic. Nicholls was surprised the horse had won as he was considered a bit of a dodgepot in the yard but he won well. Either way Lucas looks to be the star talent within the new jockey ranks and although the fav fell, he was giving his mount some rousting so may have got up to win in any case. He is TImmy Murphy's son and has ridden plenty of Pony Racing winners. He's also quite small for a jockey so I can see weight not being an issue and him turning conditional as soon as his Dad thinks he's ready. He's going in my notebook!

Timmy Murphy was one of my favourite jockeys. He had an amazing record when riding in bumper races for Fergal O’Brien. Does he still have links with the stable? I think he was Fergals landlord at the time?
 
Well IMO that was a very good livestream they have come on leaps and bounds since their inception a few years ago.
3 winners for Gina Ellis and another winner for Lucas Morgan put up as a jockey to follow by Jinnyj a few weeks ago I believe 😎
