POINT-to-Point horseracing meeting takes place at Cherrybrook, near Tavistock, where the Mid Devon host their meeting on Sunday.

The Mid Devon committee are delighted and grateful that this meeting can take place at the course with thanks to the Lamerton and land owners Messers N P and C Abel.

This point-to-point was previously held at the Black Forest Lodge course before the site had been sold. Six races will be on offer which include a men’s and ladies’ open race. Local entries will include the popular grey gelding Dicky Bob owned  by Verity Nicholls. A winner of nine of his point-to-points so far, which include three at this course, Dicky Bob is popular both with punters who have backed him to younger members of families with his striking likeness to Desert Orchid.

The action starts at 1pm at this course which offers a stunning location and  backdrop view of Brentor on Dartmoor.

The racing, say the organisers, promises to be fast and furious with trackside viewing.
