Track Biography:

Scarteen has long been synonymous with Hounds, Hunting and hospitality. When Thady and Anne Ryan retired to New Zealand in 1987, Chris and Sue took the reins and have maintained this tradition.

This is the first year to host our at point-to-point meeting at our new track Comea. 

The Scarteen (Black and Tan) Hounds have been in the Ryan family for over 350 years and attract visitors from all over the world.

We have held our point-to-point at Kilfeacle on John Heaney’s land for over 15 years.  It has attracted many good horses over the years including the likes of Dorans Pride, Ned Kelly and First Lieutenant.

We also have parking facilities for the disabled where they can view the action from their car if they wish.

The betting ring is located adjacent to the parade ring, some of the bookmakers also provide pictures and take bets on track racing in both Ireland and the UK.

There is also a hot caterer on site which sell burgers, chips etc..

For those who have a sweet tooth, we have a sweet stand who sell, chocolates, jellies and much more…
 

In our marquee we have plenty of tea and coffee to keep you warm.

Our outside caterers have a big selection of refreshments also.
 

We have no dress code but as our meeting is in January we do recommend warm clothing.
Yes dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash.
People are very welcome to bring their own food.
It is a great day out for all the family and for children to enjoy the great outdoors.
We have no ATM on course, the nearest would be in either Cashel or Golden if you would like to stop on your way to the races.

Colin Bowe won this race in 2022 with the subsequent 340,000stg sales topper Willmount, and he has entered a pair of well-related geldings, Cristal DEstruval and LAmalric. The latter sports the colours of Walter Connors an owner that the champion handler has a good strike record with. Hes A Runner is the only horse in this with previous form, and he could be turned out quickly after unseating his rider at the fourth-last fence in Ballinaboola last Sunday.

U S MARSHALL was only beaten by just under four lengths on his debut in Tattersalls back in December, and he may not have to find much further improvement to go close here. There are any number of potential dangers, however, with a whole host of previously placed rivals possibly set to line-up in opposition. That includes Tiger Baie, Ponte Verde and Camden Bard, a trio of horses who all finished third on each of their latest outings.

CHANGEYOURSTATUS only missed out on a debut success by two and a half lengths at Tattersalls before Christmas, and she could be the one to side with here. Mossy Walsh made a respectable return to action at Carrigarostig last month, and is sure to have improved from it, whilst Townhill Lass proved that she was well up to winning a maiden when twice placed last season for previous connections. She should find things easier here.

It could be hard to oppose THE TOP G in this. He had made a winning debut at Tallow on this corresponding weekend last year, only to be subsequently disqualified. Townhill Lass was never able to get involved when making her stable debut in a Hunter Chase at Clonmel recently, but she is sure to be a much more competitive prospect with this drop in grade having twice finished placed last season when with Ger Quinn.

WINGED LEADER suffered a surprise defeat when his winning run came to an end at Turtulla three weeks ago, but he remains the one to beat as he goes in search of a 29th victory in the point-to-point sphere. Boss Robin goes well here having won at this fixture for the last two years running, including in this race 12 months ago, but he was defeated by the reopposing Er Dancer in Ballindenisk last time out. Early Doors adds further depth to this having won a Hunter Chase at Killarney on his penultimate start.

THE TOP G has the alternative option of running in the confined maiden earlier on the card, but whatever engagement he takes up he should be tough to defeat, having won his maiden on debut at Tallow 12 months ago only to be subsequently disqualified. Fairly River made an encouraging debut in Ballinaboola last Sunday prior to his final-fence departure, but it is the 83-rated hurdler Jaariam who could be the biggest danger on his first start in this sphere.
