Point To Point H/B

Point-to-Point races are steeplechasing races that many see as the heart or grassroots of horse racing in Ireland. These races, the majority of which take place on pop-up courses, are run all around the country by the Irish National Hunt Steeplechase Committee (INHSC). The point-to-point tracks are often farmlands for fifty-one weeks of a year, and are transformed by dedicated volunteers from hunt committees into temporary racetracks for race day. For many people point-to-pointing is their first introduction to racing – either as participants or as spectators.
