Track Biography:

The North Down point-to-point moved to its current course at Kirkistown in 2006 and have held three meetings each season since then. The course is located towards the eastern side of the Ards Peninsula near the village of Portavogie.  It’s in an area that was used as an airfield during the war and hence is very flat and well drained.

Kirkistown is a very level left handed course run over a circuit just short of a mile. Runners jump two fences close to the spectator’s area and a further three along the back straight.

Our November fixture is normally the final meeting of the autumn calendar in the northern area. Conversely, our February and March fixtures are two of the earliest in the northern spring calendar.

Some of the leading graduates from our point-to-point include Simonsig, Petit Mouchoir & Agus A Vic.

We don't have a dress code but do recommend suitable clothing. The perfect excuse to bring out the wellies !

Yes, no problem at all but they must be kept on a lead at all times.

Yes, we welcome visitors to bring their own picnics or refreshments but why not treat yourself to something from our outside caterers from your race winnings.

At our point-to-point, we are lucky to have wide open spaces for children to play in a safe environment.

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

Colin Bowe unleashed an impressive winner of the four-year-old maiden here last month and there is sure to be plenty of interest in the potential runners that he has entered here including a number of well-bred newcomers. THE OTHER MOZZIE contested that maiden here last month and he looked booked for third when coming down at the final fence. It should stand to him here, with another faller on debut, Milo Miller a potential danger.

There is no shortage of previous placed form on offer in this and IMPERIAL SAINT is likely to have his supporters here. He was done no favours around the home bend on his recent debut in Farmacaffley but still kept on to finish a fine third. Captain Butler made good late headway on his debut at Tinahely in November and will be expected to have improved for the break and it brings him into contention alongside the likes of Caher Roes Den, Kilkee Royal and Ballyphilip.

Most of the horses with previous placed form in this seem to reside in the Colin Bowe stable and the Wexford handler would look to hold a strong hand in this with whichever of the five horses entered here he elects to run. BARRONS LAND was only beaten by two lengths last week and would enter the race with fitness assured, whilst stablemates Eve Moneypenny, Emilys Choice and Gentle Anna have all made the frame.

Preview

TARA COVE had the misfortune of bumping into Focus Point on his first start in winners company in Ballycrystal last month, but he ran creditably nonetheless and could be the one to side with here because although Golden De Coeur was a mightily impressive maiden winner in Nenagh, he failed to back that up when turned out quick a week later in Bandon. Time Was is another for the shortlist after her recent victory around here.

Preview

MOUNT WILSON offered a great deal of promise on his return from a long absence at Oldtown last month and with that effort under his belt he could step-up to take this at the expense of Ballydesmond who has twice finished second this season including when a beaten favourite here last month. Go Frankie ended his autumn campaign on a disappointing note at Tattersalls before Christmas but could bounce back here following a break.
