  • POINT-TO-POINT AUTHORITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17 PPA Annual Report 2016/17
    POINT-TO-POINT AUTHORITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17 PPA Annual Report 2016/17 Chairman’s Introduction The weather plays such a significant role in the sport of point to pointing and I am happy to say that the weather was kind to us for the 2016-2017 season and allowed pretty much uninterrupted racing from November to June. The racing was in the main of high quality and competitive, producing some worthy champions both equine and human. British point to pointing has a long tradition of producing top class jockeys and trainers for the professional game, and the 2016-17 season may go down as a vintage year producing James Bowen and Bryony Frost amongst others. Our two senior Champion Jockeys, Will Biddick and Gina Andrews both retained their titles and are good ambassadors. On the equine front the season pleasingly saw a significant uplift in the number of 4yo runners and winners in keeping with the BHA’s wish to see young British point to pointers graduate into the professional ranks. 36 4yo winners v 24 winners in 15/16, so a 50% increase. The seeds for this were sown some 3 years ago and it is a ‘long game’ breeding NH horses so this big step up should be rewarded with further funding from the newly formed Racing Authority who handle the distribution of The Levy. It is vital that point to pointing is properly funded and supported to ensure that it remains the nursery for professional jumps racing and also a place for older and lesser grade horses to have a purpose and job.

  • Ntf Weekly – 29 May 2018
    NTF WEEKLY – 29 MAY 2018 BHA update on the novice programme for 3year olds and older horses From Richard Wayman, BHA Chief Operating Officer – 23rd May 2018 We are aware that a number of trainers have expressed concerns about the change made at the beginning of the year to convert the vast majority of maiden races for three-year-olds and older horses into novice races. This followed on from the same change having been successfully introduced to the two-year-old programme over the previous couple of years. This new approach was based on feedback from connections saying that winning a race too soon in a horse’s career could be limiting to its prospects and the main aim of the change is to provide an improved programme of races for horses that win on one of their early visits to the racecourse. Previously three-year-olds and older horses that won on their debut or their second start had few options other than stepping straight into handicap company or, alternatively, aiming for a Listed or Pattern race. The latter often over-faced a young, inexperienced horse. As for the handicap option, the handicapper would have very limited information on which to allot a handicap rating. This could, of course, work both ways in that the horse’s rating could underestimate its ability and the horse then make a mockery of whatever handicap it turned up in; on the other hand, if the handicapper overestimated its ability, this could damage the horse’s development by over-facing them against more seasoned campaigners at a formative time in their career.
