Going Update
21st February 2020 at 15:29
We’ve been to the course at Wadebridge today with the Clerk of the Course. The going is GOOD TO SOFT, SOFT IN PLACES” with a good covering of grass. The sand will be levelled on Sunday morning. It’s looking very inviting!
Thursday, 20th February 2020 at 09:31
The Western fixture at Wadebridge has sourced doctors, vets, officials and all other personnel needed for their third try at holding a point-to-point this Sunday (23 Feb).
Tuesday, 18th February 2020
Unfortunately, due to the ground conditions, the East Cornwall Foxhounds have been forced to cancel its point to point at Great Trethew this coming Sunday 23rd February, and is now looking for another date. The Western point to point at Wadebridge, which had been abandoned, is now intending to run in its place on Sunday due to a gap in the calendar, if it can find the necessary officials. This meeting is will be a great day so please support it!
Entries will stand in both cases.
The PPA and PPSA are doing all that they can in these very difficult conditions to support the fixtures and innovative ideas that are being proposed. However, it is very difficult to put on fixtures, or change dates, at short notice due to the requirements these days. If you can help in any way, please do not hesitate to offer your assistance to your local fixture. In particular, we have a shortage of available doctors for some rearranged meetings.
13 February at 13:11
THE RESCHEDULED WESTERN POINT TO POINT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. We will consider rearranging at a later date.
12 February at 16:35
The going at Wadebridge is good to soft, soft in places. But we are still short of a vet and the weather forecast is a real concern.
⭐️ News on postponed fixtures from the PPA ⭐️
Following the postponement of all three fixtures on Sunday due to Storm Ciara, the following rearranged dates have been agreed, dependent on the fixtures managing to find all the necessary officials required:
➡️ Western (Wadebridge) Sat 15 Feb
All timings and entries remain the same. We thank all fixtures involved for their pragmatic support in finding a solution best for everyone.
8 February at 10:45
⭐️ WADEBRIDGE POSTPONED ⭐️
Unfortunately due to the forecast of potentially dangerous high-winds the Western meeting at Wadebridge (Sunday Feb 9) has been postponed.
News on any plans to rearrange to follow in due course.

Western Point to Point. The Course Inspector was happy with the course yesterday and a going update will be posted later today. The weather forecast is obviously a concern at this stage and the Chairman of Stewards will make a decision tomorrow.
4 February at 23:54
The going at Wadebridge today was good, good to soft in places.
1 February at 16:45
The Clerk of the Course has been to Wadebridge today and has reported that the going this morning was soft. We’ve had sunshine and a drying wind today and more dry weather is forecast from Wednesday onwards. There is a good grass covering and the course has been chain harrowed and rolled. So it’s looking good for the Western Point to Point next Sunday, Feb 9th. Entries close on Monday at 12.30pm.
30 January at 16:10
The course at Wadebridge is well draining and the weather forecast next week is mainly dry with just light rain on a couple of days. So please get your entries in for another great day’s racing. Entries close on Monday at 12.30pm.

In the Open maiden race which is sponsored by The Old Coastguard Inn Mousehole, Cottage Rose ran second here in January for trainer John Heard and could run well again under jockey Fergus Gillard, also entry Thekitchenmechanic (Teresa Clark) had some good place form in Ireland and has the booking of champion jockey Will Biddick and must be respected. Both Artic Milly (Les Jefford) and Artic Fever (Dean Summersby) cannot be left out of the equation with their consistency, and deserve a win soon.
