Track Biography:

Since 1945 Ballynoe has been noted for its well-staged and successful point-to-point meetings. The current racecourse in the townlands of Garryanne & Killavorilla has been in use since 1983. 1987 saw the introduction of the Waterford Co-Op Gain Final, now better known as the Gain Mares Final,  and has been going from strength to strength ever since. 

The 2018 running sees the continuation of the Gain Mares Bonus of €3000 presented to the winning owner by Gain Horsefeeds & Ballynoe Point to Point Committee. An always exciting finale to a thrilling series of mares’ races as any mare, a maiden at the beginning of the season, who places 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th, at any point to point in Ireland qualifies to enter the Gain Mares Final.

2018 also sees the introduction of an €1000 bonus being added to the 5yo & Upwards Mares Maiden, kindly sponsored by the O’Keeffe family in memory of their father, the late James O’Keeffe, one of the original members of Ballynoe Point to Point Committee in 1945.

A good galloping course with an extensive view for the spectators. A right-handed circuit of just over a mile. The Ballynoe fixture typically falls on the first Sunday of April except when that weekend is Easter weekend, and in recent years has generally moved to March 17th due to the congestion in the Cork Waterford Point to Point Circuit.

Previous noted winners on the track include, My Murphy who won his maiden in Ballynoe in 2011, and went on to win the Thyestes Chase in Gowran Park in 2016. Also Carter Mckay won his maiden in 2016, and went on to be favourite for the Champion Bumper in Cheltenham 2017.

All 26 entries for this contest are newcomers, and Derek OConnor has done well with his team of first-timers since the start of the new four-year-old term at the beginning of February. In that time, he has sent out three winners in the age group, and he has a number of well-bred horses for leading owner JP McManus entered. They include Passage Guenot and Lord Fauntleroy, who were both bought for six-figure price tags at the store sales last year. Of the others, Home Preserves and Soldier Boy are other well-related individuals.

Preview

It could be worth giving CASCANDO a second chance in this, as he made a couple of early errors in Dromahane at Christmas when attempting to follow up a promising introduction at the Mallow venue. Thatildojon also has a runners-up effort to his name, but the market support for him at Ballycahane a fortnight ago went astray when he unseated two-out, whilst the Tallow runner-up Spanish Dange is another definite contender.

ONE DAY IN MAY has been forced to settle for the runners-up spot in each of her two starts to date, including a particularly narrow defeat on debut in Dromahane. She could be the one to follow on her belated return to action. Ask Millie was only beaten three lengths at Ballycahane in a race which produced a winner last weekend to give that effort a timely form boost, whilst Dusky Night and Polly Piper are others worth considering.

Since winning her maiden at Punchestown in February, DEDUDEFROMHOUSTON has done little wrong with consecutive impressive successes, the latest of which was recorded in Borris House at the beginning of the month. Lucy Wang has the notable form of having gone close against the boys in open company at Comea last time, and like a number of these, she does have an alternative entry in Durrow, but if running here would be a danger. As would Oh My Jenny, Sworn Duty, and Time In A Bottle who were all closely matched at Knockanard last month.

SUPREME WALK has bypassed a number of potential engagements in recent weeks, but if making his belated return to action in this, he could be the one to side with. The six-year-old finished fourth at Bartlemy on his latest start, in a race that has already produced two subsequent maiden winners. Ballintemple King, King Peak and Rock On Richie have been knocking on the door of late, are all capable of getting their heads in front.

JULIE LIATH contested the GAIN Mares Series Final on this card last year, and was running a big race for a maiden when coming down at the last. She may not have been able to get her head in front since then, however she has posted a number of creditable efforts, including at Knockanohill just last Sunday. Tokens Glory ran well in a similar contest at Tallow last month, whilst Inch Alainn was placed at Castlelands, and is another for the shortlist.
