Track Biography:

Point-to-Point Racing in Liscarroll was revived in 1954 when a 5 race programme was staged on Monday, April 26th.

Almost 70 years later, the fixture has reached new heights and is an important date on the Irish racing calendar.

The Fixture under the auspices of Duhallow Hunt Club is renowned for the success of its graduates and the list of big race winners includes no other than the great "DENMAN" - prolific Grade 1 winner and his amazing victory in 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup will be remembered for many years to come.

Lisnagar Oscar won his maiden here  in 2018 and was then victorious in the 2020 Stayer's Hurdle at the Cheltenham.

Denman is also joined by "Lovely Citizen" & "Whyso Mayo" (Christies Foxhunters), "Timbera" (Irish Grand National), "Peddlers Cross" (Neptune Novices Hurdle & 2nd to Hurricane Fly in Champion Hurdle),  amongst many others.

It is pleasing for the voluntary members of the hard-working & energetic Committee to see the graduates excel on the big stage.

The Racecourse itself is know as the "Cheltenham" of the South.

Horses run left handed and all parts of the track are visible - no hiding places !

More recently the Fixture has enjoyed much publicity from high profile events on Race Day.

2017 was a momentous year for the Club when celebrating the life of the late great Dr.M.V. O'Brien, who was born in the parish in 1917. A wonderful day for the family, Club and Community.  

In 2018, The Club welcomed President of Ireland, Michael D.Higgins to the Fixture and in 2019, RTE Nationwide Broadcasting Team presented an excellent overview of Point to Point Racing in Ireland.

In 2019 RTE's Nationwide was on site for the race day and portrayed all that is good about point-to-point racing.

Race Day is a parochial event and the Committee extends a cead mile failte to all visitors.

HOWYA HUN ran one of her best races when pitched in against previous winners at Lingstown recently, and she ran a fine race to finish a close third. Back among fellow maidens, she could be the one to watch in this. The Sam Curling-trained Forthegreatergood has been forced to settle for second on her two outings this year. However she was only narrowly denied on both occasions, and is sure to be bang there once again. The twice-placed Frilly Frock is another that has figured in the past.

The Richard Black-trained CASEY JEM was left clear at the final fence in Tallow last month, which allowed him to win by a distance. He put up a big performance on that occasion, and is the obvious selection for this as a result. Ballyvodock winner Bright Rhett has made the frame in each of his last four starts and came up against a smart last time, whilst the mare Whatsdastory was a late faller at Nenagh when running a big race against geldings.

BRIEF AMBITION looked all over the winner coming to the final fence in a big field maiden at Punchestown on his debut, however a slow leap at the last proved costly and he was forced to settle for third. Barrowlands is the obvious alternative as he has been knocking on the door for some time, and only went down by a neck to the subsequent Lismore winner Notice To Close at Knockanard last month. Keep Wondering has likeable four-year-old form from Oldcastle but slipped up on his return recently, whilst Mighty Altogether was not beaten too far at Boulta on his penultimate start.

Preview

WEST VINTAGE looked the likely winner entering the home straight at Knockanard, however she ran off the course and stopped to a near walk approaching the final fence, before only missing out by a neck in the end. She would be a deserving winner. Some Bite had a hard race at Ballyarthur when only beaten by a length in a slow motion finish and if not inconvenienced by the quick turnaround, she would be a danger. Honest To Goodness, who ran her usual good race in the adjacent at Kildorrery, is another contender.

ROBIN IS READY came up against more experienced types when he made his debut at Templencarriga in January and with that promising introduction under his belt, he could prove to be the one to beat for the Denis Leahy yard. The Bonny Boy was a beaten favourite at Belclare a fortnight ago and is back out of hunt company here, whilst De Barley Basket is well related and he too could be of interest representing an in-form stable
