Track Biography:

Laois Hunt Foxhounds hold ther bi-annualy Point-to-Point race meetings on the grounds of Stradbally Hall, the venue for the fixtures for over twenty years. Btoh meetings ran at Stradbally are held in the Spring, the first in mid-April and the second in mid-May. Ease of access and the unique setting make this a very popular event.

Stradbally Hall, as it appears today, dates from the middle of the 19th century. Stradbally Hall has been the seat of the Cosby family since the reign of Edward VI. We are very lucky to have such a picturesque setting where spectators have a view of the full course which runs over beautiful parkland.

One of the joys of point-to-point racing is the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the future stars of Irish racing. Fundamentalist begun his racing career between the flags in the Irish countryside. The Cheltenham Festival winner recorded three wins in the pointing field, the second of which was achieved at Stradbally.

faqs

Is there a dress code for point-to-points?

There is no official dress code. Smart casual attire is advised but most importantly, it should be suited to the weather on the day.

Dogs are more than welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.

Stradbally Hall is a beautiful venue and when the weather is favorable, it is a wonderful setting for an afternoon picnic. We encourage this and have seen many groups enjoy everything from mini BBQ on a sunny afternoon to hot-toddies during chillier weather.

Kid?s entertainment is provided typically in the form of a bouncy castle or a similar attraction depending on the weather.

There is no ATM at the course but there is an ATM in Supervalu which is located across the road from the entrance to Stradbally Hall.

Amenities

Stradbally Hall is a very picturesque venue that is easy to access from all routes. It is well known as the location for the Electric Picnic Festival which is held in September. 

With a superb view of the track, this event is ideal for those who would like to enjoy a picnic while watching the racing.

Parking is available very close to the final fence and finish line.

Children’s entertainment is provided. This is typically a bouncy castle or similar attraction depending on the weather at the time.

Occasionally, supplementary entertainment such as cossack riding, side-saddle and best dressed ladies and gents competitions are organised.

Further information can be found on Laois Hunt Facebook page closer to the date of the event.

Preview

Those horses with previous form are quite closely matched, and of them, MOONQUAKE represents a stable in form, and he finished fourth at Ballycrystal last month on his initial outing. Mineola Farloe was beaten a similar distance when making his debut in Punchestown before disappointing in Lisronagh, whilst Yatorius and Cmon So are others that have run to a similar level, but it will likely be newcomers that have the biggest say.

Preview

POPPYCON has taken a step forward of late finishing placed at both Comea and Daramona House, and that would leave him as the one to beat for this. Never Surender has 13 lengths to find with the selection from Comea, which may leave Saxon Cross as the big danger. Crucially, he has proven himself around here, having only been beaten a length at this venue 11 months ago before disappointing on his return to action at Borris House in December, and he has changed trainer since.

Preview

BECKLEY LOVE filled the runners-up spot in both of her two outings in the autumn term, and with ground conditions likely to be in her favour, she could be the one to side with here. Connies Hill was the only newcomer to finish when making her debut at Durrow last month, and she is likely to be the biggest threat ahead of the more experienced Beacon Storm and Moody Girl.

ONYERBIKE opened his account in an unplaced maiden around here last year, and he doubled his tally when making a belated return to action at Ballycrystal last month. This looks like a very winnable opportunity for him to continue that run of success. Cosmic Blizzard ran well in a hunter chase at Downpatrick recently, and he should be in the mix, alongside Haggard, who ran one of his better races at Monksgrange last time.

Preview

Saxon Cross was only beaten by a length in a four-year-old maiden around here last year, and despite failing to finish on his return to action at Borris House, he could be a leading hope for this alongside Beckley Love, with both horses also entered earlier on the card, however, PEPPERS CORNER is likely the one to beat after her debut in this sphere when going close at Loughbrickland.
