Track Biography:

Point-to-Point racing has a long and rich history at the scenic location of Fairwood Park, Tinahely, since 1989. Fairwood Park also plays host to the Tinahely Agricultural Show each summer which is one of Ireland's longest running agricultural show.

Jamie Codd, who is the second winning-most point-to-point rider in the history of the sport became the first modern day rider to ride all six winners on the one card at Tinahely in October 2011.

Previous track winners to have won at Tinahely include former Grade One winner Fundamentalist and Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up On His Own.

Tinahely is situated in the heart of the Wicklow countryside, the garden of Ireland. Located just an hour and half from the bustle of Dublin city, Tinahely is a pretty village in south west Wicklow that offers a variety of walking opportunities and a gateway to the beautiful Irish landscape.

Preview

GLENGRA had two very solid runs last season behind useful looking types so may well be good enough to open his account here. Kerisper is another who ran very well on his debut and could step up to the mark on this occasion. Sparkalark looked capable of a race such as this on his best form last season also.

THE HOLLINWELL was last seasons champion horse and looks the class act amongst these runners. The rest may well be chasing minor money if he takes his place.

Preview

PRESENTING LISA has the option of running in Loughrea but wherever she turns up will see her take a lot of beating as her placed runs last season were in top class company and she looks a mare with a real future. Beechroad Ally on her Ballydurn form when a close third could be next best.

Preview

NELLS APACHE also has a Loughrea option but having finished second on four of his last five runs he will take beating wherever he goes. Always Dreaming could provide a sterner test than the Loughrea opposition however as he was second in a useful maiden at Ballingarry to Exhibit Five towards the end of last season.
