Track Biography:

Ballysteen Point-to-Point is held under the auspices of Stonehall Harriers Hunt.  Stonehall Harriers celebrated their centenary in 2011, having been founded in 1911. Having held a point-to-point in Askeaton for many years, the Stonehall Harriers began holding the Ballysteen Point-to-Point on 4 May 1996.  Originally an evening meeting in May, the meeting moved to a Sunday in April after about 10 years. The point-to-point has run every year since 1996, with the exception of 2001.

Michael O’Shaughnessy, Master of the Hunt, has been in his position since 1953, and he remains actively involved in the Stonehall Harriers and the point-to-point.

Ballysteen Point-to-Point has been held on a family farm since its inception in 1996.  The course is left-handed, with three circuits (totalling three miles) and 15 fences per race.

Many winners in Ballysteen have progressed beyond point-to-points, including Celtic Native, Monksland and the famous Faugheen.  Faugheen won his first race at Ballysteen.

How To Get There

By Road

From Limerick City
Take the N69 (signposted for Foynes/Listowel) from Limerick City for just less than 20km, passing through the villages of Mungret, Clarina, Kildimo and Kilcornan.  Then take a right turn onto the L6005 road, which is signposted “Ballysteen Sportsfield/GAA”.  Continue on the L6005 for 4km, where the course is located on the right-hand side.

From Cork
Take the N20 northwards through Charleville, turn left at O’Rourke’s Cross (approximately 8km north of Charleville) onto the R518, turning right at Lee’s Cross towards Ballingarry, then through Rathkeale and Askeaton (marked R518 all the way to Askeaton).  Then travel eastwards on the N69 for approximately 1km and turn left onto L6005.    Continue on the L6005 for 4km, where the course is located on the right-hand side.

By Air

The course is a 40-minute drive from Shannon Airport.

A total of 38 entries for race one and ITSAMANSLIFE is taking to score for the in-form Denis Murphy. The Mahler gelding finished third on debut and have shown slight signs of inexperience close to the finish, he is sure to have improved plenty for the experience. Un Huit Huit travelled smoothly on debut and is bound to improve with her initial effort behind her. Dozay De Clermont for Sean Doyle looks the pick of the remainder with form to their name. Of the newcomers Mytermsoryours and Denwork are worthy of consideration.

Must Havea Flutter failed to build on the improvement he had shown but if able to bounce back here, he would rate a danger. Orchard Lane, Ringmoylan and The Ogle Gogle Man look best of the rest.

SPRINTINGFORGOLD has done nothing wrong since making his debut at Loughanmore in 2014. Six wins from eight runs, the Gold Well gelding produced another top class effort to win by six-lengths at Quakerstown recently. He is taken to continue the good run if lining out again quickly. Ourmanmassini was unlucky to fall when taking on the selection recently and another clash would be interesting to see if the result will be the same. Western Man and Sir Des Champs look best away from the leading two.

KILNESARE KATE showed enough on debut to warrant respect here but further enhanced her claims by improving to finish second at Dromahane earlier this month. Trained by Leslie Young, she travelled and jumped well and if continuing to improve, she could be tough to beat here. Sweet Lady Jane for William Burke and Working On A Dream for the same trainer look the dangers.

RATTLE THE CAGE gained a deserved success at Durrow last month when beating a next time out winner in good style. The Mahler gelding looks to be improving with each run and can play a leading role here. Pop The Champers is also a recent winner and looks a danger coming from the in-form Denis Murphy team. Eddies Miracle looks best of the remainder.

Trainer Donnchadh Doyle could hardly be in better form at the moment and looks to have another live chance in the form of STINGTHEBOOKIES. Third behind the selection in the previous race recently, he looks sure to improve on that and go close in this competitive event. Insufient Funds for Tom Keating, Boysies Lad for Brain Cawley and Flaxen Moonshine for Donal Hassett look best of the remainder.
