The INHSC and the IHRB have announced a change to the Hunter Certificate qualifications for the Spring Season.
They have amended Point to Point Regulation 8 (i)(b) which relates to the eligibility of horses to run in Point to Point Steeplechases in the Spring Season.
A horse will now be eligible to be registered for a Hunters Certificate for the Spring Season, if it hasn’t –
• run in a race on the racecourse on or after December 1st of the current Point to Point season, or
• won a race on the racecourse on or after March 1st prior to the start of the current Point to Point season
A full version of the amended Regulation is available to view on page 23 of the INHS Regulations Book here.
The cut-off has been extended by a month with the previous cut-off being 1st November.
