Track Biography:

Sitting on 420 acres along the banks of the Boyne River, the Lands at Dowth host a wealth of Neolithic and medieval archaeology. It is part of the Brú na Bóinne Unesco World Heritage Site.

Acquired by the Brennan Family in 2013, the Lands and Dowth Hall are currently undergoing restoration work. Since 2016, the Lands have been opened to the public on numerous occasions including Family Fun Days which saw over 1,200 people walk a trail discovering the Lands archaeology and architecture and learned how food and farming have influenced the landscape over the past 6,000 years.

Dowth Hall hosted racing as early as the 1700’s. Reinstating this proud tradition in 2015, Devenish took the opportunity to partner with the Meath & Tara Committee to host the Autumn Point-to-Point at Dowth. It was a special occasion for all concerned, and the first time that Dowth had been open to the public in many years. The return of racing to the ‘Old Racecourse’ restores the sporting heritage as part of the wider estate restoration project.

Dowth has always had a strong connection with racing, and was first owned by the Netterville family designed the Racecourse in the 1700’s. It was later sold to the Gradwell family who bred the horse ‘Drogheda’, winner of the 1898 Aintree Grand National. More recently the Cameron Family owned Dowth. Tony Cameron, who was an accomplished jockey and equestrian, competed at two Olympics in Three Day Eventing, Rome 1960 and Tokyo 1964. Perhaps his greatest achievement in the saddle was finishing 4th on Gay Navaree in the 1962 Aintree Grand National. We were delighted that Tony has returned as acting steward at Dowth Point-to-Point.

Come racing this October 28th and be part of the story of Dowth.

IS THERE A DRESS CODE FOR THE POINT-TO-POINT?

Wrap up to enjoy a day in the crisp Autumn sunshine but always plan for the worst. Traditional National Hunt attire involves a nod to tweed or wax so dig out your jackets, dust down those wellie boots & flat caps and corduroys for the boys (the brighter, the braver) or classic denims. If in doubt, sling some ancient binoculars around your neck or a race card in your back pocket to look like a pro! *Remember - there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes!

Well-behaved dogs are very welcome at Dowth. All dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Please do not leave them in cars unattended, and please clean up after them.

Yes, point-to-points offer the perfect spot to have a picnic out of the back of your car whilst enjoying the best of the racing.

A competitive entry has been assembled for this opening four-year-old maiden featuring a number of horses who have already shown promise to date. The Donnchadh Doyle-trained OSCAR FLAME, who holds entries at all three venues, looks a smart sort having finished fourth behind the impressive Mr Lingo at Dromahane. He can be expected to take a step forward if running here. Shanroe Al C and Cooldine Bog have both finished placed this season, whilst Macgiloney and Getaway Trump bring placed spring form into the race.

WELL TOM has now hit the crossbar on his last two outings including at Loughrea most recently when coming up against a promising unexposed sort in Canyouringmeback. That run should see him bang in contention here with recent race fitness on his side. Some Respsonse has finished placed in points and in a Downpatrick bumper, whilst the similarly experienced, Scottshill, took a notable step forward at Castletown earlier this month when finishing second.

Preview

CAVITE BETA put together a run of three straight victories in open company last season which should see him set the standard. Whilst he did suffer two defeats at short odds to finish that campaign, he could well get back to winning ways here for the Jim Dreaper yard. Eddies Miracle may well be a nine-year-old, but he has few miles on the clock and was one of last seasons most improved performers. Expect him to step-up from his re-appearance at Castletown which came in an ultra-competitive affair. Dantes King is the other danger to consider following two wins last season.

GOLD RUNNER made a crucial mistake at the final fence at Casletown-Geoghegan earlier this month when attempting to make all from the front. Despite that error, she still finished in front of the ex-Gigginstown runner, Chesapeake, and is a worthy selection for this race. In Arrears could make a quick re-appearance having stayed-on late from the rear to finish third at Tinahely last Sunday and is a race fit rival.

STAR WIZARD took a notable step forward at Castletown-Geoghegan earlier this month on what was his first start for the Peter Flood yard by finishing third against younger horses. The switch to older maiden company for the first time should be rewarded here. If bypassing an alternative entry at Portrush on Saturday, Another Day Done, a horse who was only headed close home at Loughanmore recently, would look to be the main danger. Laces Out, a faller at Kinsale in June, would complete the alternatives in a select field if he managed to re-produce his Ballyarthur form.

Preview

Manetti obliged at short-odds on his second career start at Portrush last March, and whist he disappointed when finishing last in an Ayr bumper, he bounced back to form when only finding the improving and now three-time winner, Captain CJ, too good at Loughanmore. Dropping back to one winner company could see him double his career tally. Benarty Hill is held by the selection on that Loughanmore run, whilst Chinatown Boy, a British point winner at Larkhill, who acquitted himself well on his first start for a new yard at Loughrea, and De Name Evades Me are next best.
