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.

Facilities

Combined with our free parking, we are lucky to have a clear viewing track that allows race goers to get up close to the action, often from the comfort of their car, should they wish to bring their own picnic for the family.

There are certain parts of the track that can be used to facilitate disabled parking so as to cater for every eager race goer.

The bookmakers ring is conveniently situated in close proximity to the parade. Check out all the runners before deciding where to place your hard earned cash!

Food

In between races, spectators can avail of a variety of catering options provided.

Outside caterers provide tasty beef burgers, sausages, chips with tea, coffee and soft drinks on the day.

The venue lends itself very well to family picnics when the weather is favourable.

Beverages

The onsite catering providers will provide range of hot and cold drinks.

As a result of the very strict drink driving laws a few years ago we decided to discontinue providing or selling alcohol. 

However people can bring their own and some wonderful and exotic beverages can be seen taken out of the back of cars and trucks. 

 

faqs

Is there a dress code for point-to-points?

As warm as possible. High heels probably not advisable however it is lovely to see some people dressed up in their country tweeds.

Yes all dogs welcome once they are kept on a lead.

Of course. We just ask that no rubbish is left behind.

No, but because the children can get up close to the action we find they love watching the races.

No we do not provide an ATM so we recommend that you make a stop in Tinahely on your way to the races.

Amenities

As a large number of the people attending our point-to-point are there purely for the races we try to concentrate solely on providing the best racing possible.

Over the years, after the last official race we have ran a very popular race confined to our hunting members riding their hunters.  We have not been in a position to run this for the last few years but hope to start doing so again.

HERE WE HAVE IT has been forced to settle for the runners-up spot in two of his last three starts, including a narrow defeat at Mainstown before Christmas, which means he is sure be in the shake up. Macs Charm only found a more experienced rival too good on his debut in testing conditions at Knockmullen House and is entitled to have improved for the run, with the regularly placed pairing of Sunset West and Tommys Oscar, alongside Straight Swap, others that would have to feature on the short list.

EDDIES MIRACLE has taken all before him in the open division this season and remains unbeaten for the campaign following victories at Portrush, Borris House and Tyrella most recently. Whilst he was a beaten odds-on favourite around here in the past, he would still look the one to beat on his form from this season, having previously got the better of his stable companion Horendus Hulabaloo. All Hell Let Loose has a bit to prove on his two runs this season, but was a smart performer last year, which may leave the evergreen Better B Quick as the more solid alternative. He won around here in October and has been incredibly consistent this season.

HONEST OPINION tried to make all of the running in testing conditions at Knockmullen House earlier this month and was only beaten by five lengths on what was her first run in 11 months. That looked a decent race, and having been entitled to have needed the outing, she might be the one to side with here. Lawlors Choice has proven herself around here having gone close at the venue last month and may prove to be better than her 12 lengths defeat at the hands of Awesome Lady at Cragmore last Saturday, whilst is another that could have place claims, having made the frame here in the past.

ON THE SOD will look to preserve an unbeaten record here following two opening successes, including what was a notable defeat of Samurai Cracker, a horse that has since enjoyed success on the track, winning the Hunter Chase at Limerick over Christmas. Beatthebullet and Ballymorris Rose finished first and second at Ballycrystal last month in significantly less testing conditions, which may leave Fill The Tank as the big threat as he ran well at Bellharbour earlier in the month.
