Sunshine is something that we look forward to after the cold, rain and snow, but not the firm ground and small fields that usually comes with it. However, despite that we still had two excellent races at Milborne St Andrew on Saturday, and Hackwood Park on Sunday, with Chloe Boxall and Hannah Lewis both registering their first perfect 10 of the season.

Our first visitor to the van was Robbie Henderson (pictured with Derek and Sarb) - a successful amateur
jockey who works for leading trainer Alan King, and who is the son of Guy Henderson |
Robbie Henderson was our first visitor on Saturday and posed for a photo with two of the AGA Pointing team - all three looking resplendent in their "I'm In Total Control" polo shirts! Robbie booted home a winner in the Men's Open race to prove that he was definitely "In Total Control" on the day.

A field of 3 went to post for the AGA Ladies Open and we had a super race with Chloe Boxall bagging her first 10 points of the season with victory on Armoury House, while Hannah Lewis and Avesomeofthat, and Suzy Berry and Dr Cerullo filled the places. Alice Mills is normally in her silks but was having a well earned day off in the sunshine, however, she came along armed with her camera and took some great photos, including the one of Chloe above.

The AGA Pointing boys, Derek and Sarb, plus David from local AGA distributor Spillers of Chard presented the AGA clocks to winning connections at the post race presentation, and then Chloe dashed over to the AGA van for her eagerly awaited interview with Beazo!

| Some happy winners surrounded by AGA boys! |
Hannah Lewis picked up 6 points here for second place and that was my cue to say that she was now in with a chance of winning the brand new AGA Total Control, Hannah was still a little reluctant to big up her chances but that was about to change the following day.
