Track Biography:

We run a two-day point-to-point each spring beside the grounds of Durrow Abbey House and Durrow Church which was founded by St Columba in 553.

The back straight runs right in front of the beautiful Durrow Abbey House and makes the point-to-point one of the most picturesque meetings in Ireland. The grounds of our well-presented race track, with its compact location of parade ring, bookies, finish line and services give a pleasant race day experience close to the action.

Our point-to-point is located 10 minutes away from the town of Tullamore which has an abundance of pubs and restaurants as well as plenty of shops and popular tourist attractions such as Tullamore’s large distillery which makes Tullamore Dew, a popular Irish whiskey.

Preview

Pat Doyle produced an impressive four-year-old maiden winner at Punchestown last Sunday, and therefore his representative Arvico Bleu will likely be a leading contender as he looks a well-bred type. Gordon Elliott has entered two Gigginstown House Stud-owned runners who will likely be capable of going close, whilst Timewaitsfornoone can step-up from his debut second at Punchestown last week.

Preview

CASTLE ON A CLOUD finished second on his debut behind Stowaway Magic who recently took a Bumper at Kempton on his track debut to boost that form, so he can step-up on a promising re-appearance at Oldtown a fortnight ago by attaining a deserved maiden success here. Bard Of Askamore was the subject of some market support ahead of his debut at Lingstown, and he could be worth a second look.

Preview

SPARKLING RIVER has finished second on three of her last four starts and will be a deserving maiden winner having bumped into an above average winner at Tallow last time out. Alkajazz bounced back to form when a close second at Tyrella a fortnight ago and she has plenty of placed form in the book to suggest that the selection will not have an easy task. Goodgirlteresa is next best.

ROBIN DE BOSS chased home the subsequent Leopardstown Hunter Chase winner It Came To Pass at Ballindenisk in the Autumn, and he has had a break since a somewhat below part effort at Boulta on his latest appearance, so he comes here fresh and may be the one to side with. Manwell and Front At The Last, both finished third on their latest outings, as did Zerachiel who has filled that position on both starts to date. That latter trio are all capable of making it into the shake-up.

Preview

DUCLOYNE LADY is proven in winners company having finished placed at this grade on her latest three outings and she therefore sets the standard. Grangeclare Rosa won a competitive mares contest at Tinahely, and she should be well able to go close on her first start in winners company having previously finished placed on the track for Willie Mullins. Three Swallowsnick is another last time out maiden winner stepping-up to winners company for the first time here, whilst Sue Oscar will be suited by the drop back to mares only company having bumped into two decent winners horses at Oldtown a fortnight ago, so it will not be a surprise to see her get more competitive.
