HIGH EASTER HAPPENS TO BE THE FINAL MEETING OF THE SEASON 2019-20



With uncertain times ahead we head off to High Easter  near Chelmsford, a good crowd gathered and all pointing followers hoping the rumours that racing would be suspended and the point to point season closed for the season were just hearsay.

Six races with good fields starting off with
Leading novice rider Paige Topley on Perfect Pirate winning the PPORA Novice riders conditions race, High Easter
