Track Biography:
The Galway Blazers have a long history of holding a point-to-point dating back over a hundred years. The hunt dates from the beginning of the 19th century and has established itself as one of the famous Irish Hunts due to the goodwill and generosity of farmers and landowners throughout the county.
We run two meetings a year at Dartfield just outside Loughrea with the first one taking place in October and the second fixture being held in April. The course is situated at Dartfield Horse Museum and heritage centre which is set on 350 acres of parkland just forty minutes from Galway city.
Over the years, Loughrea point-to-point has produced many top national hunt stars such as Bewleys Berry, Boys Hurrah, Brindisi Breeze, Never Compromise and King Johns Castle.
How To Get There
By Road
From the Dublin take the M6 as far as the Ballinasloe West exit 15, and continue on the N6 towards Loughrea/Galway as far as Kilreekil village. Dartfield is half a mile beyond the village on the right hand side of the N6.
From Galway take the M6 and exit at Junction 16 for Loughrea. After approx. three miles on the access road you arrive at a roundabout, take the first exit. Continue past the Portumna Junction for less than a mile, and the entrance to Dartfield will be on your left.
By Air
Loughrea is situated 30 minutes from Galway airport and an hour and 50 minutes from Dublin airport.

Preview
Plenty of newcomers here who deserve maximum respect but of those with form Sir Lynx ran a cracker at the end of last season at Ballingarry and has very strong claims. Yukon Delta was running well before falling late on his debut. This race may be between Wonderhow who has fallen twice so cannot gaint eh vote on that score so preference goes to GRANDTURGEON who was a decent second last time at Ballindenisk.

Preview
An extremely competitive contest with plenty of track form from Gallant Oscar, King Eloi and Kings County Star in particular. Gale Force Oscar will improve plenty from Rathcannon and could take a lot of beating and Master Of The Game would be the selection if there were not so may experienced horses and six year olds to contend with. DREAM CHOICE has two very solid runs to his name and is a tentative choice.

ISLE OF GOLD is a top notch pointer and although this is a decent contest he gets a strong vote and could make into a decent Hunter Chaser. Cheers Jon is interesting as a danger as is Tullymacken as both are course winners.

Preview
THE BOOK THIEF is rated 112 over fences and is still open to improvement aged seven. If he strips fit he could take this competitive affair. Kingscliff has the class but has to overcome an absence and age. Knock On The Head tries a new discipline which is notable but perhaps Castletown winner Battlefront or Tyrone Golden Rain will be the biggest danger to the selection with Hoopy open to improvement from his initial outing.

STRANGE BIRD is an above average mare who should not retain maiden status much longer. She was unlucky last time falling in front at the last and can make amends. Pinnock Hill can run well as her recent form stacks up and Artic Palm is another who can go well. Nora D and Twentyeleven have claims also
