Meeting(s): Point-to-Point Owners & Riders Club (Day 1) - Saturday, 12 January 2008; Point-to-Point Owners & Riders Club (Day 2) - Sunday, 13 January 2008; Vine & Craven (1) - Saturday, 16 February 2008; Tedworth - Saturday, 05 April 2008
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: J. Barnes 7, G. Maundrell 6, J. Snowden 5, D. Alers-Hankey 4, D. I. Turner 4
