23 March 2011 Preview: Hampshire - Hackwood Park
by Robin Gray
Hackwood Park racecourse hosts the first of three meetings next Sunday 27 March, as the Hampshire hold their fixture.
Point-to-Point racing begins at 2.00pm, preceeded by pony races for children at 12.45 and 1.05pm.
The Ladies Open is one in the popular series sponsored by AGA, who will stage a final at Cheltenham on 4th May. Morestead Trainer Jenny Gordon has two Entries among the 13 possible runners in a bid to retain the Hampshire Trainers championship which she won last year.
Regular sponsors, horse auctioneers Brightwells, are once again supporting the Young Horse Maiden event over the reduced distance of 2m4f.
Hackwood Park, RG25 2JZ, is on the A339 south of Basingstoke and adjacent to the M3 Exit 6. Car parking is available at £20 and £30 with a £10 discount for single occupancy.
