PEPER HAROW PUTS THE HEAT ON A POIN TO POINT SATURDAY UNION MEET

SURREY UNION MEET AT PEPER HAROW THE LAST SOUTH EAST AREA MEET OF 2017

The final meeting in the South-east area was supplied by the surrey Union Hunt meet at Peper Harow's unique twisting track that gave way to six quality races.

My first trip to the course that caused me some confusion with its layout to start, but by the end of the meet won me over with its degree of difficulty not found on may other pointing tracks.

The first race for novice and veteran riders saw a local winner with Strollawaynow under Benedict Saw take the race.

We caught up to chat with Owner/trainer Mr A Wates after the race to talk about this horse reinventing himself at 10 years of age.

The next, a Restricted, and it was not long before the leading lady Gina Andrews took to the stage with a win on Nigel Padfields Knockedaboutloaded.

As always, we had a word with Gina about the 9 year old winner for a race series sponsored by Subaru throughout the season.
