Meeting(s): Point-to-Point Owners & Riders Club (Day 1) - Saturday, 09 January 2010; Point-to-Point Owners & Riders Club (Day 2) - Sunday, 11 January 2010; Vine & Craven (1) - Sunday, 14 February 2010; Tedworth - Easter Saturday, 03 April 2010
Course Summary: Set well off the road in natural amphitheatre; a gently undulating oblong course; superb downland grass, uphill from before two out; fences well-built; on chalk so gives perfect going in early season. Viewing is superb with the whole course visible from selected spots. Car parking satisfactory with access/exit via long hard track. Paddock is superb. An outstanding venue; the PPORC meeting is a must and the 2 day meeting is now a regular feature of the early weeks of the new season; the exercise of moving each fence after day one to fresh ground continues to be an excellent achievement.
Top Riders: Miss R. Green 8, D. Mansell 6, J. Barnes 6, J. Snowden 5, Miss P. Gundry 5, R. Burton 5
