Track Biography:

The Avondhu foxhounds were formed in 1920, with point-to-point racing being held as part of the Cork Waterford circuit from the late 1930's until the present day. In the late 1950’s the meeting was held at Knockanard, Fermoy and racing was over banks.

In the 1960's the venue changed once again, this time to Lisnagar outside Rathcormac. The fixture remained here for a number of years before moving to Moorpark, located just outside Fermoy, where it stayed until 1994 where it return to the original venue at Knockanard, the current race venue.

Our fixture has attracted some good horses over the years including Keen Leader, For Bill, Missed That and Joacci. Missed That won on his only start between the flags as a five-year-old at Knockanard, he subsequently won the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival.

For Bill was a prolific race mare, clocking up eleven career wins including, two point-to-points, three national hunt flat races (bumpers), three hurdles and three chases, registering back type over hurdles and fences. The presenting mare has breed one runner thus far, Speak Easy, who won his maiden point-to-point at Kilworth in March of 2017 for the Donnnchadh Doyle yard and was subsequently sold to Joseph O'Brien for 220,000 pounds and now runs in the colours of J. P. McManus.

Nestled in the Irish countryside, a day out at Knockanard point-to-point is a perfect family occasion, get up close and personal with the future stars of the Irish National Hunt scene.

All eyes will be on what horse the Derek OConnor and JP McManus combination elect to introduce here as the pair have been responsible for the winners of the last two editions of this race with No Flies On Him and Goraibhmaithagat. Best Trump and For Old Times Sakes are there two potential runners this time around, but they could have to take on a more experienced rival. ARGENTO ROYALE finished a close third at Ballinaboola a fortnight ago which should stand to him, and he represents Colin Bowe, who won this race three times since 2018, including with Ferny Hollow in 2019.

Preview

COUNTRY CODE was led out of the sales ring unsold after a very promising debut at Boulta in December, and that form has since been boosted by two of those horses that finished behind him, coming out and winning in recent weeks. He looks to be the one to side with as a result. Mymilkman also filled the runners-up position for his debut which came at Ballindenisk last month, whilst Mandinka is another for the shortlist after his Ballinaboola debut.

THE GREAT UNKNOWN made a winning return to the pointing fields at Bellharbour a fortnight ago on what was also her first start since joining Sam Curling. There looked to be more to come from her, and it would be no surprise to see her double up in this. Aleish Lass has not been seen since she ran a cracking race in a hunter chase at Cork last Easter, whilst Carry On Heidi was only narrowly denied a second success in Carrigarostig last month.

PURE DECENT was still holding every chance when coming down at the final fence in Tallow last Sunday on what was his first start in ten months, and if repeating that promising effort, he would have to be expected to go close. The Price Of Peace made the frame at Dungarvan on his debut and is a danger, alongside the previously track-placed Ballinaboola runner-up Erigmoor, whilst the mare Paddyskatie has finished in each of her two starts this year and is another for the shortlist.

Preview

PURE DECENT is also entered in the preceding maiden but if taking up this engagement, he would likely be the one to beat having looked set to go close before falling at the final fence last Sunday in Tallow. Mohera Prince finished third in a similar contest at Ballyvodock a fortnight ago when he had the potentially reopposing Lakewood Rose just over two lengths behind him.
