13 April 2011 Preview: Cleveland - Mordon
by Charlotte Brader
The Cleveland Hunt Point-to-Point takes place on Sunday 17th April at Howe Hills, Mordon. 123 entries have been received for the 7 race card and racing gets underway at 1.30 pm. The sixth race on the card is the Point-to-Point Owners and Riders Association Club Members Race, run over the extended distance of 3m5f.
The Point-to-Point course at Howe Hills is always well prepared and maintained by owner John Wade, who is a well known figure in racing and Point-to-Pointing circles. Most of the course can be seen from the Grandstand, however in all races apart from the 3m5f club race and the 2m4f maiden race, the start is obscured from view.
Approximately the last two furlongs of the home straight is downhill to the winning line and every now and then a train runs parallel with the course.
Admission is £10 per single occupant and £5 per additional occupant. The postcode for satellite navigation is TS21 2HG.
