As 2010 draws to a close, many people will be asking what the future holds for point to point racing, and particularly point to point fencing.
One thing we can be certain of is that exciting times lie ahead for point to point fencing and racing. The recent crowning of Tony McCoy (15-time Jockey Champion) as Sports Personality of the Year is testament to this new hope. McCoy is the first jockey to ever win this prestigious award, proof point to point is finally getting the recognition it deserves in mainstream culture.
McCoy finally won the Grand National this year at his 15th attempt. All involved in point to point and horse racing can be proud of this achievement. Point to point has gone from strength to strength this year and certainly has a bright future.
Many are asking where the future lies in terms of point to point fencing technology. The world of point to point fencing was revolutionised in the 20th century by the introduction of PVC products and engineering allowing fences to be repacked and built on site.
It remains to be seen what technological changes hold in store for the point to point fencing industry. Any technological advancements that make the sport safer as well as tougher will be a welcomed change.
Rumour continues to swirl over possible changes to point to point fencing regulations. We can be fairly certain however, that they will remain 4ft 6inches high and be run over a period of three miles.
It has been a fantastic few years for all aspects of point to point. The future of point to point truly does look brighter than ever. Here?s hoping the next generation enjoy this grand old tradition as much as we have.
