Track Biography:

Laois Hunt Foxhounds hold ther bi-annualy Point-to-Point race meetings on the grounds of Stradbally Hall, the venue for the fixtures for over twenty years. Btoh meetings ran at Stradbally are held in the Spring, the first in mid-April and the second in mid-May. Ease of access and the unique setting make this a very popular event.

Stradbally Hall, as it appears today, dates from the middle of the 19th century. Stradbally Hall has been the seat of the Cosby family since the reign of Edward VI. We are very lucky to have such a picturesque setting where spectators have a view of the full course which runs over beautiful parkland.

One of the joys of point-to-point racing is the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the future stars of Irish racing. Fundamentalist begun his racing career between the flags in the Irish countryside. The Cheltenham Festival winner recorded three wins in the pointing field, the second of which was achieved at Stradbally.

faqs

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

There is no official dress code. Smart casual attire is advised but most importantly, it should be suited to the weather on the day.

Dogs are more than welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.

Stradbally Hall is a beautiful venue and when the weather is favorable, it is a wonderful setting for an afternoon picnic. We encourage this and have seen many groups enjoy everything from mini BBQ on a sunny afternoon to hot-toddies during chillier weather.

Kid?s entertainment is provided typically in the form of a bouncy castle or a similar attraction depending on the weather.

There is no ATM at the course but there is an ATM in Supervalu which is located across the road from the entrance to Stradbally Hall.

Amenities

Stradbally Hall is a very picturesque venue that is easy to access from all routes. It is well known as the location for the Electric Picnic Festival which is held in September. 

With a superb view of the track, this event is ideal for those who would like to enjoy a picnic while watching the racing.

Parking is available very close to the final fence and finish line.

Children’s entertainment is provided. This is typically a bouncy castle or similar attraction depending on the weather at the time.

Occasionally, supplementary entertainment such as cossack riding, side-saddle and best dressed ladies and gents competitions are organised.

Preview

WHATABOUTYEH finished out his race particularly well on debut in Ballyragget when finishing behind two more experienced times. The form of the race has already been boosted by the fifth horse coming out and winning at Castletown-Geoghegan, and it would be no surprise if he was to become the second winner to emerge from it by taking this. Zero Tolerance has been unable to recapture the form he showed when second to the now 132-rated hurdler Au Fleuron in a point-to-point bumper at Tipperary but cannot be discounted, alongside Not A Light.

Preview

Sam Curling could have found an ideal opportunity for LE BOULEVARDIER here to gain a deserved first success following two second place finishes, including a narrow defeat at Nenagh last time. He would look to be some way ahead of those that we have seen in action to date, with the newcomers Gig In The Park and Whos Houdini perhaps offering the biggest threat, with the latter having cost E90,000 as a three-year-old.

If LE BOULEVARDIER was to bypass the previous six-year-old maiden in favour of taking up this engagement he would also have to have a favourites chance once again following two second-place finishes. The eye-catching newcomers Gig In The Park and Whos Houdini also feature among this potential opposition in this race too, with Knockdrin one interesting new rival having run well in a decent adjacent winners event at Castletown-Geoghegan last Sunday.

SOME MAN suffered a surprise defeat when sent off as the odds-on favourite at Lisronagh last month. A line must surely be drawn through that run as it was too poor to be true and if he was to bounce back to the form that saw him defeat Poli Roi by 20 lengths at Kirkistown, he should be the one to beat. Some Are Lucky comes here following a confidence boosting victory in a match race at Rathcannon last Sunday and would be a threat if the selection was not firing on all cylinders, as would The Forge Hill, as she won well in a mares open at this venue 11 months ago.

He overcame the saddle slipping in the closing stages to record his first success against fellow winners, whilst Benefits Jeu can get closer than he managed in Lingstown back in December.

Preview

ELUSIVE MAE took a nice step forward when she chased home Mangan Sue in Borris House last month. Her conqueror from that day had look set to go close once again in Dromahane last Sunday to frank the form, and she could continue a good season for her connections in this. Tara Line also showed improved between her opening two efforts and would look a danger if she can continue in that form, ahead of Pougne Aminta, Neat Locality and Cronebane Gold.
