Point to point racing at Tweseldown

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

I did my first point to point race today, it’s just like racing at Newbury or Ascot or Windsor, except that the jockeys are amateurs and the facilities are not so luxurious! The day was very grey and overcast so very little light for such a fast moving sport, hence I could not get a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the horses movement, see below:
