Track Biography:

The Avondhu foxhounds were formed in 1920, with point-to-point racing being held as part of the Cork Waterford circuit from the late 1930's until the present day. In the late 1950’s the meeting was held at Knockanard, Fermoy and racing was over banks.

In the 1960's the venue changed once again, this time to Lisnagar outside Rathcormac. The fixture remained here for a number of years before moving to Moorpark, located just outside Fermoy, where it stayed until 1994 where it return to the original venue at Knockanard, the current race venue.

Our fixture has attracted some good horses over the years including Keen Leader, For Bill, Missed That and Joacci. Missed That won on his only start between the flags as a five-year-old at Knockanard, he subsequently won the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival.

For Bill was a prolific race mare, clocking up eleven career wins including, two point-to-points, three national hunt flat races (bumpers), three hurdles and three chases, registering back type over hurdles and fences. The presenting mare has breed one runner thus far, Speak Easy, who won his maiden point-to-point at Kilworth in March of 2017 for the Donnnchadh Doyle yard and was subsequently sold to Joseph O'Brien for 220,000 pounds and now runs in the colours of J. P. McManus.

Nestled in the Irish countryside, a day out at Knockanard point-to-point is a perfect family occasion, get up close and personal with the future stars of the Irish National Hunt scene.

Preview

CAPILLA is a decent sort who has some decent runs under his belt and looks set to shed his maiden tag here. His main danger looks to be Rockingtimes who finished runner up at Aghabullogue. Another to consider is Lord Fingal who caught the eye when staying on to finish fourth at Tattersalls on his debut.

Preview

BENSON?S POINT looks the obvious choice here on the back of his run at Killeagh when only beaten a head at Killeagh behind Cute Court. High Web has been a consistent individual and has his chance here. Moss Grove is another progressive time that will go close here as will Paul Jones who has some decent runs in the past. Credos Island if he can re-capture his former sparkle could go close.

FOREVER EVA is looking for the hat-trick win is hard to ignore here. She has done everything asked of her and looks set to add another win to her tally. Her main danger is Derg Princess who is a decent type coming back from a long lay off. Recent winner Brickfield Sally won her maiden impressively last weekend should be capable of holding her own here.

Nedzer?s Return who has yet to finish out of the placings this season won?t be far away. Recent winner Hoopy is another who could play a big part here.

Preview

SHE?S GOT GRIT gets the selection here on the back of her terrific run behind Soaring High at Killeagh. Persian Hill has some placed efforts under her belt and maybe one to watch. Kicking Kate, Contessa Margerita and Glenwood Girl are also ones to consider who have all shown ability in the past.
