Track Biography:

Point-to-Point horse racing is a longstanding tradition proudly kept alive in Ireland for the past 250 years and is frequently the starting ground for the new future young stars of the racing circuit. The North Galway Hunt host their annual Point-to-Point fixture in early March each year at Michael Cunningham’s Land in Golden Park, Belclare which is situated just off the N17 between Galway city (33km) and Tuam (7km), and is considered by Point-to-Point experts to be very safe and ideal location for racing, as the land supports a level course with no rise or descent on the circuit.

Point-to-Point racing has been described as the lifeblood of the racing industry in Ireland. For many it is their first introduction to racing, either as participants or as spectators. Many of today’s riders, owners, trainers and officials all received their first taste of racing on the Point-to-Point circuit. The North Galway Point-to Point have had the honour of hosting the maiden race in Belclare for many years, famously won by the legendary ‘Best Mate’, before going on to win three Cheltenham Gold Cups and ‘The Thinker’ who also ran at the North Galway Point-to-Point and subsequently won a Gold Cup race.

We are very lucky that our fixture typically draws a large entry with trainers coming from all over the country to run their horses with us. The continued success of the Point-to-Point in Belclare is much to the credit of the North Galway Point-to-Point Committee who work hard to make this annual sporting event an enjoyable and safe day for participants and spectators alike on the eve of Cheltenham.

No, we do not have an official dress code we just advise our race goers to stay warm and dry for your days racing and to prepare yourself for all types of Irish weather.
Yes, we allow dogs to attend the point-to-point, but would ask that they are kept on their leads at all times and in the company of their owners whilst at the track.

Preview

A strong entry in this 4-year old maiden with a number of clues to be taken from the 8 with previous form. The Gigginstown House Stud-owned ASSEMBLE ran a very promising race on debut when runner-up to Asterion Forlonge, a horse who subsequently sold for 290,000 pounds. Pat Doyle, who trained Asterion Forlonge, will have a good line on that form as he trains Appreciate It, who came home in third on his debut at Ballinaboola and Diol Ker who was just denied at Cragmore in February.

KILLISK BEN ROSE has two cracking runs under her belt with a second on both occasions and looks to be the pick here. Finishing just three lengths short on her last run to the promising looking Madera Express where the first two pulled a long way clear of the rest of the field. Rollercoster has decent form of late and Cavs girl should not go unnoticed.

A fairly competitive looking race that could go the way of recent maiden winner JOHNNYS GIRL should she be able make the step up to winners company. The Norman Lee-trained daughter of Flemensfirth beat more experienced rivals on her debut last month whilst showing a lot to like on the day. The ultra consistent Bloodstream was most recently second in a very similar contest at Killeagh in January and is not without a chance to go one better here, whilst Our Henrietta, Siege of Tobruk and Sliabh Mhuire Lass ensure this could be a competitive heat.

Double-entered ARCTIC ROAD finished second in Tallow last month and looks to have the measure of his rivals in this contest. Uluroo was beaten by four-lengths in a novice hurdle for Pauline Robson at Kelso last May by a horse who has subsequently won two more races. Now with Sam Curling, the six-year-old could have the experience needed here. Witness Protection and Cavalry Scout are both worth noting.

On that evidence the Kevin Heffernan-trained son of Central Park should be able to go one better here in the adjacent maiden. His biggest challengers come in the form of Harry Smiles and Shaunas Dream.
