Zoe Valvo and Questioning win the Junior Field Master’s Chase. Douglas Lees photoThe Blue Ridge Hunt Point-to-Point races were held Saturday, March 12 under lovely spring skies…for a change! Despite the rains of the previous week, Woodley Farm’s limestone soil drained well and the mature turf held up to make the going as perfect as the weather.
Zoe Valvo on Questioning won the Junior Field Master’s Chase in the Horse Division, and Kellie Witte won the Pony Division easily on Annabelle.
Trainer Neil Morris had a good day, saddling four winners: the Maiden Hurdle for Bertram Firestone, the Maiden Flat for Kinross Farm, the Novice Timber for owner Sara Collette, and the Foxhunter Timber for Mary Motion. Jockey Matt McCarron brought home two of those wins for Morris.
