Devon & Cornwall Point-To-Point Area Official updates from the Devon & Cornwall Point-To-Point Secretaries Association It's an amateur sport, organised by volunteers. LET'S GO RACING!

The Devon & Cornwall Point to Point Area ranges from Trebudannon in Cornwall to Bratton Down on Exmoor with one fixture near Wellington in Somerset. We're the busiest Point to Point Area in the country with 24 race days planned in the 2022 - 2023 season, starting at Great Trethew near Liskeard in November and finishing with the sport's traditional national finale at Umberleigh on Saturday 10th June

Point to Points offer an exciting and fun day out, with the chance to get up close to the exciting race day action. "Paddock Spot" before each race and pick your fancy, - have a flutter with a bookmaker if you like - and cheer on "your" horse from the trackside viewing. There's real camaraderie amongst participants but it's competitive too! Riders are amateurs but standards are high and whilst some are in it purely for the thrill of race riding for others it's a stepping stone to a career as a professional jockey. Admission prices include parking, and there's always plenty of space for a "car boot picnic", children under 16 are admitted free and dogs are welcome but for everyone's safety it's important they are kept on leads at all times. As well as the racing, there's usually hot and old refreshments, a licensed bar and tradestands. Some meetings offer additional entertainment. You can find out more by checking the events listings here on our page. Whether you come on your own, with family, or as a group of friends Point to Pointing offers a great value day out.

Course inspection - Dunsmore racecourse

πŸ“’ Course Update ahead of our planned fixture on Sunday 15th November

Following the prolonged dry weather and the resulting current ground conditions, we will be carrying out a course inspection on Tuesday alongside the BHA and local inspectors to assess whether the course is raceable and whether the ground is likely to provide safe conditions for racing in a few weeks time.

Unfortunately, due to the severe drought conditions we are experiencing, watering the course is not an option.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while we assess the situation. The safety of our horses, jockeys and everyone involved in racing must remain our priority. We want to put on a safe and competitive days racing if possible.

We will update everyone on the outcome of Tuesday’s inspection as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support. πŸ‡
