Track Biography:

Kinsale Point to Point along with running a two-day premier race meeting at the end of the point-to-point season also hold an Autumn fixture.

It's a great family day out, the racetrack has superb viewing with food, drink and entertainment.

The first official record of a South Union Foxhounds point-to-point race dates from 1945, when it was held at Warner’s Cross. In 1947, the races moved to Ballinrea near Carrigaline.

In more recent years, the races were held at Cappagh, very close to Kinsale, with winter fixtures at Rochestown.

The races moved to Fort Arthur on the Old Head of Kinsale briefly before alighting on the current site at Farrangalway in 2007.

Kinsale is the gourmet centre of Ireland ! Don’t forget to plan for some seriously good food in one of Kinsale’s award-winning restaurants such as Fishy Fishy, Bastion, The Blue Hazen and Finns Table, to name a few.

There is plenty else to do with activities in Kinsale range from sightseeing and walking to adventure sports, arts and culture. Check out Kinsale.ie for full details of attractions like Charles Fort.

There’s something for everyone – did you know Kinsale people are environmental pioneers, leading the way as a “Transition Town”? Or that Kinsale marks the start of the famous Wild Atlantic Way?

The Kinsale meeting held in the Spring marks the end of the Point-to-Point season, where jockey and trainer championships are decided, and there is great rivalry with horses competing from as far afield as Northern Ireland. Sunday also features family entertainment, with a hound parade, dog show, pony rides and best-dressed competitions, topped off with a concert.

Preview

MICHAELAMAYSTAR returned close to her best when finishing second against geldings at Inchydoney last Sunday and she has the experience to take this race. Indian Native was far from disgraced in the P2P.ie mares Bumper at Tipperary last month when finishing fourth behind subsequent Bumper winner Miss Eyecatcher, and she would look the main danger. At their best, Tobar Liath and Rockwood Rosie could also hold claims.

Between The Waters has placed form in Adjacent company to his name which would entitle him to claims here, whilst Gracious Prince and Change Your Story have shown potential.

Preview

SOMEONES OPERA is the only horse in here with previous placed form to her name following a third placed effort at Castletown in April, and that would entitle her to hold strong claims in a race of this nature. Petite Royale was a beaten short-priced favourite at Stradbally in May on her penultimate start, and she could possibly get involved alongside the likes of Salvatrice and Rince Na Habhainn.

MAPLE MONS could prove tough to beat on her current level of form having produced a smart effort to run out the wide-margin winner of an Open at Inchydoney last Sunday. Theatre Princess is the obvious danger to the selection having won a Hunter Chase at Cork over Easter and she has been running well on the track recently. Meanwhile Gabrielleamee returned to something like her best when second at Tralee last weekend which would entitle her to place claims in a race like this.

ANSEANACHAI CLISTE will likely be crowned Champion Point-to-Pointer this weekend after a hugely successful Spring campaign which has seen him notch up six straight wins on the bounce and he is therefore a worthy selection for this. Forjoetheplumber was only narrowly beaten at Tralee last Saturday when finishing just a head in front of the potentially re-opposing Theroadtocroker, and not a lot might separate them again here.

CHASE THE CLOUDS has the standout recent form in this race and this will be his best ever opportunity to get off the mark having finished a fair third at Bartlemy last month. Rocking Dj has made the frame in the past when second at Inch, however he has lost his way recently. King Nidge and Roughty King may well be next best.
