For the first time in the history of Hunter Chasers & Point-to-Pointers, the authors have indicated which horses they feel have performed well and have the potential to becomeleading lights in Point-to-Pointing or Hunter Chasing.
Progressive horses that have already moved to professional yards have not been selected.
A Weatherbys Chase "star" is restricted to twelve horses in each book and it is hoped will become recognised as a mark of a leading light.
The fortunes of all of the horses will be followed throughout the season and
regular updates will be featured on the national website - www.pointtopoint.co.uk - and in the weekly Point-to-Point round-up on www.sportinglife.com.
The twelve horses selected to be the 2008/9 Chase Stars include Ardnaclancy.
He attracts the comment: "Enjoyed an excellent first season with five victories from seven attempts.....should certainly be able to hold his own in a higher grade than he has tackled so far."
The 51st edition of the 'Bible of Point-to-Pointing', the Mackenzie & Harris Hunter Chasers & Point-to-Pointers Annual, is published on 6th November.
Further details on the Annual and the Loose Leaf, as well Weatherbys Chase's array of products and services including subscriptions to ww.pointtopoint.co.uk and the sport's first online Video Channel, Viewpoint, are available on the website www.pointtopoint.co.uk.
