Track Biography:
The North Down point-to-point moved to its current course at Kirkistown in 2006 and have held three meetings each season since then. The course is located towards the eastern side of the Ards Peninsula near the village of Portavogie. It’s in an area that was used as an airfield during the war and hence is very flat and well drained.
Kirkistown is a very level left handed course run over a circuit just short of a mile. Runners jump two fences close to the spectator’s area and a further three along the back straight.
Our November fixture is normally the final meeting of the autumn calendar in the northern area. Conversely, our February and March fixtures are two of the earliest in the northern spring calendar.
Some of the leading graduates from our point-to-point include Simonsig, Petit Mouchoir & Agus A Vic.
How To Get There
From Newtownards
Take the A20, signposted to Kircubbin/Portaferry. After Kircubbin turn left into the B173, signposted to Portavogie/Cloughey. Follow this road for about 3 miles and you will pass the Kirkistown Motor Racing Track on your left. After a further half mile you will see the entrance to our track on your left.
From Newry and south of the border
Take the A1 north to Hillsborough. Then go through Hillsborough and follow the signs for Carryduff/Comber on the B178. Join the A21 and go through Comber to Newtownards.

If Tammys Hill is at his best he could come out on top but marginal preference is for JOHNNYOFCOURSE who won at Loughanmore last time in a decent contest and has track form also. Of the rest Subaroo Blue and Not Before Eight are notable and Derg Princess will be interesting pitched in against geldings.

Preview
Jacks Grey, Major Glendinning and Some Run all have enough track form to give strong cause for encouragement. However the marginal preference here goes to AGHAVILLAR who ran well last time behind Casson who has won again since. Dromone Express has form around here which is always notable.
