AGA ladies - racing for Total Control, the race to win a brand new AGA Total Control is warming up

Back in August when we were still working on the plans for this season, the question on all of our lips was whether giving away a brand new AGA would work, was it a good incentive and would it be supported and create some ultra competitive racing?

This could be yours!

As the season really starts to pick up pace the answer to all of these questions is a resounding yes. Coverage in the media has also been quite good, but now we need to kick on and keep the early momentum going. Talking to the girls both at the races and in cyberspace, I would say that there is a real desire to win this great prize, and although nobody has resorted to dirty tricks just yet, there's plenty of time!

The table that everyone wants to be in

Dunthrop - a classy AGA winner as Upton Springs kicks on and is "In Total Control" (plus some top lady riders and yet more wind)

The day - an enjoyable day at Dunthrop saw a classy winner of the AGA Ladies Open race, and while his odds were nowhere near as generous as they were 12 months ago, Upton Springs put his rider firmly in the mix to win a brand new AGA Total Control cooker come the end of the season.
Lady riders, customers and dogs all rally to the cause!
AGA needs you - this is our second season as national sponsor and the support we receive from within the pointing community is crucial, none more so than from the lady riders themselves. I'm pleased to say that without exception everyone is rallying to the cause, and the enthusiasm of the ladies has been second to none, in or out of the saddle.
2 top lady riders (Camilla Henderson and Emily MacMahon)
 and 3 top AGA Pointing blokes (the normally camera shy 
Derek, Mark Kopite Taylor and me)

Andrews sisters dominate again at Larkhill in AGA 1-2

Derek and Dan faced quite a challenge upon arrival at Larkhill today ... how to secure the AGA branding and prevent it from blowing halfway across Wiltshire! With the branding secured they were able to concentrate on the racing, but not before they had to move the AGA van twice, once because of the conditions, and the second time because they were blocking the view of the nice chap who was filming the racing.
Wiltshire - it was quite bleak
There was a field of 6 for the AGA Ladies' Open and The General Lee headed the market at 11/10, followed by Mustangsallyrally 7/4, Classic Swain 3/1, Own Line 8/1, Quedillac 12/1 and Zaif 20/1..
The name of this team is AGA Pointing,
not AGA Punting!
