Track Biography:

Since 1945 Ballynoe has been noted for its well-staged and successful point-to-point meetings. The current racecourse in the townlands of Garryanne & Killavorilla has been in use since 1983. 1987 saw the introduction of the Waterford Co-Op Gain Final, now better known as the Gain Mares Final,  and has been going from strength to strength ever since. 

The 2018 running sees the continuation of the Gain Mares Bonus of €3000 presented to the winning owner by Gain Horsefeeds & Ballynoe Point to Point Committee. An always exciting finale to a thrilling series of mares’ races as any mare, a maiden at the beginning of the season, who places 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th, at any point to point in Ireland qualifies to enter the Gain Mares Final.

2018 also sees the introduction of an €1000 bonus being added to the 5yo & Upwards Mares Maiden, kindly sponsored by the O’Keeffe family in memory of their father, the late James O’Keeffe, one of the original members of Ballynoe Point to Point Committee in 1945.

A good galloping course with an extensive view for the spectators. A right-handed circuit of just over a mile. The Ballynoe fixture typically falls on the first Sunday of April except when that weekend is Easter weekend, and in recent years has generally moved to March 17th due to the congestion in the Cork Waterford Point to Point Circuit.

Previous noted winners on the track include, My Murphy who won his maiden in Ballynoe in 2011, and went on to win the Thyestes Chase in Gowran Park in 2016. Also Carter Mckay won his maiden in 2016, and went on to be favourite for the Champion Bumper in Cheltenham 2017.

LONG DRAW was in the process of running a big race on debut when coming down two-out at Knockanohill and it would be no surprise to see him gain swift compensation here. Diamonds For Luck also came a cropper at the penultimate fence on his debut which came just last Sunday in Liscarroll and if coping with the quick turnaround he would be a definite danger.

PAINTED WOLF is a horse that has likely featured in plenty of notebooks this season after he chased home the subsequent Grade 2 winner Rocky My Way at Castletown-Geoghegan on the opening weekend of the season. He has not been seen in competitive action since is sure to prove popular on his return. Truckers Cruising brings more recent form to the table having been quite an eye-catcher in Tallow prior to his departure whilst Down The Inner and What A Johnny are not without their chances.

If ANNIE EXPRESS could bounce back to form here, this could be a nice opportunity for her as she was only beaten six lengths on her debut at Loughanmore last Easter, before disappointing when returning to that same Antrim venue back in October. Eve Moneypenny has put up two solid efforts at Ballycrystal and Kirkistown in recent weeks and could take advantage of the selection not bouncing fully back to form, whilst Lorna Yeats and The Dollar Lady are others to have made the frame.

Declan Queally has won two of the last five renewals of the GAIN Final and he would look to have strong claims for improving that record here with MAJESTIC DESIGN to continue his excellent run of form. The Imperial Monarch mare took a big step forward on her stable debut when winning in Castlelands by 14 lengths. She could double up in tis at the expense of Merry Melody who went close in mares open company in Ballycahane three weeks ago. Time Was, Elusive Mae and Dul Ar Aghaidh are others for the shortlist.

IT CAME TO PASS certainly has not lost any of his enthusiasm for the game at the age of 13 on the evidence of his return effort in Kildorrery last month. The former Cheltenham Festival winner could prove to be a popular winner of what is a very winnable contest. His stablemate Dashing Perk is the clear danger having won in Bandon on his penultimate start.
