Track Biography:
Point-to-Point horse racing is a longstanding tradition proudly kept alive in Ireland for the past 250 years and is frequently the starting ground for the new future young stars of the racing circuit. The North Galway Hunt host their annual Point-to-Point fixture in early March each year at Michael Cunningham’s Land in Golden Park, Belclare which is situated just off the N17 between Galway city (33km) and Tuam (7km), and is considered by Point-to-Point experts to be very safe and ideal location for racing, as the land supports a level course with no rise or descent on the circuit.
Point-to-Point racing has been described as the lifeblood of the racing industry in Ireland. For many it is their first introduction to racing, either as participants or as spectators. Many of today’s riders, owners, trainers and officials all received their first taste of racing on the Point-to-Point circuit. The North Galway Point-to Point have had the honour of hosting the maiden race in Belclare for many years, famously won by the legendary ‘Best Mate’, before going on to win three Cheltenham Gold Cups and ‘The Thinker’ who also ran at the North Galway Point-to-Point and subsequently won a Gold Cup race.
We are very lucky that our fixture typically draws a large entry with trainers coming from all over the country to run their horses with us. The continued success of the Point-to-Point in Belclare is much to the credit of the North Galway Point-to-Point Committee who work hard to make this annual sporting event an enjoyable and safe day for participants and spectators alike on the eve of Cheltenham.

THE BIG CLUBMAN was closely matched with Baldwin The Brave when falling at the final fence on his debut in Belharbour last month. With Baldwin The Brave coming out and winning at Tyrella last weekend, it is a timely form boost for him. That victory for Baldwin The Brave was yet another winner in the age division for the Derek OConnor team and their two entries here have to be respected given the stable form.

DERAVARRA ROSE was in the process of producing a much-improved performance at Oldtown last month, as she was in a close second when coming down at the final fence. A reproduction of that effort would see her as the one to beat. Suitably Surprised would be a danger on her opening effort, whilst Howya Luveen was only narrowly denied in an older mares maiden at Tyrella and is another that should be in the shake up.

RYEHILL skipped a couple of potential engagements last weekend, but connections could be rewarded here as the ultra-consistent seven-year-old sets the standard for this. Having never finished outside of the first two in all five starts to date, he is the one to beat. Peggys Rock disappointed at Kirkistown when making a quick re-appearance, whilst Grange Soldier and Memories Never Die are others for the shortlist.

Matty Flynn OConnor has saddled three impressive winners in this category since the turn of the year, and SNAP FISH will bid to continue the stables good fortunes. He stepped forward from his Knockmullen House debut at Oldtown last month, when only beaten just over two lengths in a race which featured some nice types. The chief danger also hails from Wexford as Epic West went close on his recent debut at Lisronagh and is entitled to have improved.

Preview
WINGED LEADER returned to winning ways in a decent race at Farmacaffley last month, and he is the one to beat as he goes in search of what would be a 15th victory in the point-to-point fields. De Nordener was no match for a stablemate of Winged Leader at Punchestown recently but has been in flying form this year, whilst Wise Move has been a big improver this season and could not be ruled out on his first start in this grade.

Preview
YOUNOWHATIMEAN had two subsequent maiden winners behind him when finishing second on his debut in this sphere at Turtulla in January. Whilst he did disappointing at Cragmore when racing keenly, he could be worth another chance here. Walk Easy was a late faller in that Turtulla contest but has since hit the crossbar four times and should again go close, with the Punchestown runner-up Mon Meilleur Ami.
