A chance to catch up with the most recent point-to-point focus, that appeared in the Racing Post on Friday, June 7.
Two remarkable horses have broken the record for wins in a point-to-point season on either side of the Irish Sea.
The 10-year-old mare Longhouse Music recorded her 13th victory from 15 starts when winning at Kinsale in County Cork on Saturday, but 24 hours later, on the final day of the Irish season at Ballingarry in County Tipperary, Kruzhlinin matched her tally on his 17th start. Kruzhlinin began his racing career in British point-to-points, winning one of two races for Worcestershire’s Zoe Hammond before selling at Doncaster and proving a very useful chaser in the colours of Paul and Clare Rooney.
He and Longhouse Music had already smashed the Irish pointing record of eight wins in one season, and their scores also lowered the British best of 12 wins by Boy Bumble (1974), Little Fleur (1978) and Brunico (1992).
That trio, all special in their own way, were trained by exceptional people. Boy Bumble became the first of five consecutive victories in the Connolly’s Red Mills’ champion horse title for Suffolk owner/trainer Joe Turner. His son and daughter, David and Josie, won seven and five races respectively on the horse in his zenith season.
Little Fleur was trained in Herefordshire by Bill Bryan, and ridden to 11 of her 12 victories by Bill’s son John, who was 18 and became that season’s Fuller’s national men’s champion. His sister, Karen, also rode a winner on the mare, and no doubt proved a source of much useful knowledge gained from her father when marrying Peter Bowen. They were courting when Bowen produced one of point-to-pointing’s greatest training feats, converting Brunico from a highly-reluctant racehorse into a winning machine whose 12 wins in 1992 were joined by another 11 the following season.
It is 10 years since the tough mare Chesnut Annie recorded 10 wins, the most recent time a double-figure score has been achieved by the champion. Such a total would probably have been achieved this season by Tim Underwood’s Timmie Roe, but he suffered a fatal injury last month after recording eight wins. Amie Waugh’s Winged Crusader, also on eight wins, is set for the title by virtue of finishing second on one occasion.
