Track Biography:

Over the years there have been many historic venues for the annual Point-to-Point races. Official races under rules were last held in Lisbunny in 1914 at what was known as the Old Racecourse.

First recorded Point-to-Point of the North Tipperary Foxhounds was in Blean, Toomevara in 1908 and afterwards at the old racecourse Lisboney adjacent to our current race meeting.  In intervening years it had been back and forth in various locations, Grange and Stereme. 

In the mid 30’s they moved to Carrick Hill in Ballycommon, then to Blean in Toomevara in the early 40’s before an outbreak of foot and mouth disease forced a change of venue again to Grange in the mid 40’s. Here the races proved extremely popular with a great vantage point from Grange Hill. References to race meetings in the 1950’s in Grange included crossing ploughed fields.

In 1965 they moved from Grange back to the ‘Old Racecourse’ in Lisbunny before moving to Stereame in 1970, where they remained up until 2000. Stereame has been synonymous with racing in Nenagh for over thirty years and has seen many great horses pass the winning post including Elegant Lord, Doran’s Pride and many more. The meeting was moved to its current location in Lisboney on the Dublin road.

Our landowner in both of these locations is our current hunt Chairman Mr Peter McCutcheon whose family have been synonymous with hunting in North Tipperary since the early 1900’s.

Many great horses have won at Lisboney and have gone on to better things on the track such as English Grand National winner Silver Birch who was trained by Gordon Elliot.

Preview

Donnchadh Doyle unleashed an impressive winner at Tallow last Sunday, and he could be represented by two horses more than capable of winning this with Go Whatever and KEEP WONDERING. The latter chased home Cenotice in a very competitive race at Oldcastle last May, a race that has since produced three subsequent maiden winners. Barrowlands has hit the crossbar on both outings to date and is clearly not far from a maiden success of his own, with the likes of Mister Eddman and Jeremy Sunshine others that enter the reckoning.

KILDRUM finished just two lengths behind Press Conference, a horse that now holds Cheltenham Festival entries, in a four-year-old maiden last season, and he would have to be strongly fancied to win a race of this nature, having finished placed on a further two occasions before disappointing in Tipperary. Generator City will expose any fitness concerns with the selection as he only lost out by a head at Bellharbour a fortnight ago, whilst Kilrane Road, Diegos Way, Witness Protection and Worzel Gummidge are others for the shortlist.

Preview

The Enda Bolger runners could hold the key to this race, as they have entered two horses with markedly different profiles. SAINT BENEDICT won his four-year-old maiden at the first time of asking at Rathcannon in November, whilst the exciting Hunter Chaser Staker Wallace could potentially return from a two year absence. He is a horse that finished a close third in the last renewal of the Raymond Smith Hunter Chase to have been run at Leopardstown on just his fourth career start and is still very much unexposed. Shanacoole beat two of last weekends winners when returning to victory at Dungarvan, whilst Shuil Luas and Dualla Time are two mares that ran notably well at Kilfeacle recently.

Preview

Despite being a race that excludes previous Grade 1,2 or 3 winners, this could be a red-hot renewal with FENNOS STORM potentially taking on Ucello Conti. The former got the better of the seasons leading hunter chaser at Kilfeacle and has to be given serious respect as a result. Former Irish National winner Thunder And Roses would be a threat on his penultimate start, whilst the likes of former Cheltenham Foxhunters hero On The Fringe, It Came To Pass, Holly Flight and Samanntom complete the obvious contenders in a potentially very competitive renewal.

FORTHEGREATERGOOD held the advantage for a short period on the run-in at Kilfeacle last month, only to be overhauled by a fellow newcomer in the closing stages. Some Bite was also forced to settle for second on her debut at Turtulla and is the clear alternative, with the likes of Trumps Ace, Ulterior Motives, Bannixtown Glory, and The Wise Maid others that cannot be discounted.

The Paul Power-trained TINTERN TRAILS returned from a long absence to finish a very encouraging second at Tinahely last month and he likely sets the standard here. Verticalpebble and Mustmeetforapint finished second and fourth respectively at Cragmore last Sunday, with the latter having made a crucial late mistake, while Kilfeacle-second Vinnies Nephue and Mister Flemington, who came up against an above average winner at Ballinaboola, are others sure to get involved.
