Point to Point

Racing photographer supremo Pat ‘Cash’ Healy is known to many in the horse-racing world. His father Liam senior began the family horse-racing photography business in the 1970s, and today Pat Healy and the other members of the HEALY RACING team, including his brother Liam, his nephews Kevin and Sean, and his son, Jack, are familiar figures at point-to-point races, racetracks around the country and the big race meetings abroad. Richard Pugh enjoyed success as a point-to-point rider in the mid-1990s. In 1997 he undertook commentary duties and has been commentating at point-to-point races and on the racecourse ever since. In 2003 he set up Irish Point to Point Services Ltd which provides information and services to the industry, such as results, reports, ratings, photos and entry-taking ability. In 2012 Richard joined Tattersalls and has become closely involved with the sale of point-to-point horses through the Tattersalls Cheltenham Sales. Richard’s wife, Jennifer, is the Senior Medical Offficer of the IHRB and was Champion lady point-to-point rider in 2009.
