Track Biography:
The first Westmeath Foxhounds point-to-point took place in Loughegar in 1875. The Westmeath Foxhounds point to point committee have been holding meetings in Castletown Geoghegan for almost forty years. Prior to that, meetings were held at Mullingar Racecourse at Newbrook and Cullion, now the venue of Mullingar Showgrounds and Mullingar Rugby grounds.
During our Spring fixture we have one of the most prestigious contests run in the point-to-point circuit, the Barbour Cup. It has been the race where many racing stars have returned to point-to-pointing to run in Open Lightweights and have taken part in this historic race.
In addition, many young horses who have won their maiden here, have continued very successful careers on the track.For example previous course winner, It Takes Time won the Ascot Gold Cup and wasthird in the Stayers Hurdle at the Cheltenham festival aswell as finshing fourth in the English Grand National. Royal Caviar, who won his maiden in 2013, went on to win four times on the track as well as finishing fourth in the 2017 Arkle chase at the Cheltenham festival.

VIOLONISTE has been knocking on the door for awhile now and should be capable of getting his head in front here today.

Kerisper ran well on his only to date at Necarne last season and could go close.

Preview
This novice riders contest looks a fairly open event with the majority of the runners having been running under rules. NELLS APACHE looks the obvious choice on last seasons form having filled the runner up spot on three occasions. Dads Rose has not been seen competitively since 2011 when finishing 3rd on his only start, he is from the Ciaran Murphy stable where both fitness and jumping ability should not be a problem and could be the one to oppose the selection.
