Tattersalls Ireland has appointed David Simpson, formerly of AGA, as Bidpoint representative for the remainder of the point-to-point season.

Richard Pugh, director of horses in training at Tattersalls Ireland, said: “Since its launch in March 2015, Tattersalls Ireland Bidpoint has made great strides in offering an alternative way for people to buy an Irish point-to-pointer. We are committed to the growth of Bidpoint and David is the perfect person to further develop the awareness of this unique bidding platform. David has established a vast audience in the UK point-to-point field and along with his comprehensive network, we believe he will raise the profile of Bidpoint across the UK.”
