Track Biography:

The Pigeon Hill Committee and the Carrigtwohill Committee amalgamated in 1958 to form the Pigeon Hill & Carrigtwohill point-to-point Committee.

They have organised a Point-to-Point in the Carrigtwohill area ever since. 2018 is the 60th Anniversary of this race meeting.

Traditionally race day has been an occasion when the people of the parish came out in large numbers to enjoy a day of fun and activity. 
Full details of all our special offers are on the Pigeon Hill and Carrigtwohill Point to Point Facebook Page.

The excellent condition and quality of the Ballyvodock track historically has attracted a large number of entries from owners and trainers from all over Ireland.

Preview

THE PUNISHER is also entered at Nenagh and whichever engagement he takes up he will be a deserved selection for following an encouraging second on debut at Lisronagh behind a nice type in Minella Beau. Arctic Destination offered real promise with his third behind Crank Em Up on debut at Boulta which entitles him to be seen as a live alternative, whilst Tattersalls final fence faller No Secrets Here along with a number of smartly bred newcomers could ensure this is a competitive heat.

Preview

SPARKLING RIVER has been a very consistent mare of late and should oblige here on all known form to date. She is also entered at Tyrella, however this looks be the easier engagement to take up. Lauras Lark hails from the in-form Declan Queally team, however she has to step out of Confined company here, ensuring So Sorry Sarah could prove to be the most meaningful danger to the selection, as she had twice finished second prior to a non-finish at Tinahely earlier in the month.

Preview

BOBBYTHEGANGSTER has been in top-form this season and was impressive at Tinahely a fortnight ago when running out a wide-margin winner. A repeat of that effort would see him set the standard here. Vanguard could well step-up from his fair fifth at Templencarrga earlier in the month, although he would have form to overturn with Ches Calls Time who finished third in that same contest. Hit The Upright and Carraig Thuathail hold easier alternative entries at Nenagh.

Preview

It may pay to take a chance with OVERBURY PRINCE who was twice placed under rules in addition to a further two second-placed efforts between the flags as a five-year-old. He has been off the track for well over a year which is the concern, however if anywhere near his best, he should prove too good here. Davies Delight was well beaten in a similar contest at Templencarriga recently and seems to favour quicker ground.

BENNYS GIRL was unfortunate to be brought down at Killeagh earlier in the month, and she should receive due compensation in this as she is a thoroughly consistent performer. Lastpop and Leaders Choice are both last time out maiden winners with little likely separating them having finished within a short-head of each other at Lisronagh in December. They face tougher tasks here against the battle-hardened selection, however they are on the upgrade and offer the principal danger.

Preview

HARRY THE LEMON makes his debut for his new yard and it could well be a winning one as he was last seen finished placed over fences on the track for James Ewart. With that level of recent form to his name, he could have the experience to come out on top here. Sweet As A Nut was the subject of significant market support ahead of his debut at Boulta in December, and whilst he could not convert that market confidence into a winning performance, he did produce a solid effort and may be worth watching once again in the market ahead of this effort, as he does look the main alternative.
