NATIONAL HUNT CHAMPIONS CROWNED AT STRATFORD!

24-05-2005

There was no doubt that Thomas Greenall was going to claim the NH Champion Amateur title from early on in the season and follow in the footsteps of both his father and uncle by getting his name into the record books. The ladies title was not so easy to prophecy in spite of Rose Davidson staying at the top of the tables for months on end. This was until the very last day of the season, when Polly Gundry travelled up to Stratford from Devon point to pointing to take a ride in the last running of Intrum Justitia’s Hunterchase. At this stage Polly was one winner behind Rose’s total of 7 and had to win the race in order to steal the crown, having one more 2nd placed run to her name. This is exactly what happened and no one was more surprised than Polly herself!

Many congratulations to our two new champions, and of course to their runners up, Nick Williams and Rose Davidson, who put up some great performances during the season.

Congratulations to all of our members who have ridden winners this season both on the racecourse and point to pointing and given us all so much excitement.
