Track Biography:

Clonakilty’s annual Point-to-Point races are held on historic Inchydoney Island on the lands of Leslie & Emily Beamish who kindly provide us with this fabulous venue.  Having started as a millennium project, the Clonakilty Point-to-Point meeting has grown beyond all expectations and is now regarded as one of the most outstanding meetings of its kind in Munster.

Since moving to our present location on Inchydoney Island, we have attracted even larger crowds from both near and far, which has helped even further in presenting Clonakilty as a wonderful place to visit and stay. This event is not only for horse enthusiasts, but has also proven to be a great family day out over the years.

We are very lucky to have a large committee of hard working volunteer racing enthusiasts, with each member being more dedicated than the next, under the stewardship of the Clerk of the Course.

Our Committee at Clonakilty Point to Point like to recognise and celebrate some unique achievements.  In the past we have done well with “Imperial Call”, “Newmill”,” Why So Mayo” and “Sir Frederick”.  We have also had a horse called “On the Fringe” which was bred locally by Pat Tobin who has created an incredible record by winning the Hunter Chases at Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown in 2015, repeating first again in 2016.  Horses rarely win at these three meetings, but his mother (Love & Porter) was sired by “Sheer Grit” and this fellow certainly has that.

Seamusjay finished sixth on debut and represents Aidan Fitzgerald who had a four-year-old winner at Maralin last Saturday, whilst the market will give an indication of what is expected of the newcomers.

Preview

LION OF LACKABANE finished in front of last Sundays Dromahane winner Potters Approach at Dawstown earlier this month, and he could prove too strong for his rivals here. The Pipers Cottage took a step forward when chasing home Bridge of Spies at Maralin last Saturday and he is clearly progressing. The dual-placed Flaggan is likely next best.

TALKISCHEAP disappointed in the P2P.ie Bumper at Tipperary recently having made the perfect start to his career when taking a four-year-old maiden at Lisbeg on quick ground and it will be interesting to see how he fares back over obstacles here. Bobby Cullen ran well at Stradbally on his first start in winners company and he can follow that up here, whilst King Willie is capable of landing a blow.

VALMY BAIE was very impressive when making all to record a wide-margin success at Maralin last Saturday, and he could prove tough to beat if re-producing that effort under the same circumstances. Mountain Lough has been in great form this season and lost little in defeat at Killarney recently when chasing home Hard Station, whilst Maple Mons, who has won her last two starts, and Theatre Princess who has finished second in a pair of Hunter Chases recently, are two others capable of getting involved.

Preview

ARCAL FIFTY posted a career best on his first start for the John Walsh yard at Athlacca earlier in the month, however he was unable to fully build on that a week later at Necarne when finishing fifth. He has had a two-week break since then and he should be capable of a strong bid here. A Pint Ahead looked booked for second before parting company with his rider at Lisbeg, whilst Tonius is an ex-track performer who is returning from a long lay-off.
