Track Biography:

Set amongst the picturesque Blackstairs Mountains, our race track is located close to the parade ring, bookies, final fence and the finish line making it extremely assessable for all of the family to view the day’s action.

Our point-to-point is located on the grounds of the beautiful Borris House which is one of the few intact living Irish estates that can trace its history back to Brehon times, and the royal ruling families of ancient Ireland. The estate is the family home of the 16th generation of McMorrough Kavanagh’s and still contains the majority of its original furniture, paintings, documentary archives and other historic family artefacts.

Borris House is a popular wedding venue with a range of beautiful accommodation offers to choose from as well as providing tours of the estate.

A BOLD MOVE ran a cracker last time and was second to a decent sort at Tyrella so could be ready to open his account here. Prince Of Steal has form around this course and looks the main danger.

WINDY MILLIE won at this course in December and therefore is taken to follow up here in a similar race. Winnie Cooper is interesting as she has track form while Maple Mons was beaten by a gelding on a similar track last time and will go close also.

TANGO LUOVO looked decent on his debut at Glenbane and although slightly disappointing since this looks an ideal opportunity for him to score. Stable companion Another Time was second last Sunday and could be next best here.

ALITTLEBLESS was third at Lingstown on debut but he now looks set to open his account as he will improve a lot for this outing. Kilna Shane fell in contention last Sunday so looks a danger while Paul Jones returning from a long absence will be interesting to see.
