Lockinge Easter Point-to-Point Extravaganza

The fixture is supported by up to 10,000 racegoers who flock to the Oxfordshire racecourse to enjoy six horse races as well as two pony races.

Point-to-pointing is regarded as the grass roots of horseracing and has helped nurture the careers of numerous successful jockeys; Richard Dunwoody graduated through the point-to-point circuit as a young lad and went on to be crowned champion jump jockey three times in the professional ranks.

The fixture also provides the chance for younger jockeys to experience race riding, with two pony races at 12.30pm.

This is also plenty of entertainment off the track. This year, in addition to their traditional hound pack, the Old Berks Hunt will parade their pack of Teckle hounds, who are tagged as the ‘sporting sausage dog’. There is also terrier racing, a dog show and Easter family fun.  

Richard Manners, chairman of the Point-to-Point said; 

“The scene is set for another great fixture and we hope to welcome plenty of racegoers on Easter Monday to enjoy a great day of horseracing in the Oxfordshire countryside”.
