Track Biography:

The Golden Vale hunt was revived by Tim Hyde and Michael Purcell.

The hounds were hunted by John Pickering, James Foley, Capt. Donald Swan, Rory Dicken, Tom O’Meara, Jim Quinlan and presently by Michael Comerford.

The point-to-point has been run annually at various venues. The first meeting was held at College Hill Templemore and has since been run at Thurles racecourse, Fairyhill Templemore, Coolkip Horse and Jockey, Glenbane Holycross and now at its current venue of Turtulla Thurles.

Facilities

We also provide a disability parking area with fence viewing on the home straight.

There is portaloo’s available on the day. 

In our bookmakers ring you can view and bet on any off-course races on the day in both England and Ireland.

Whether you want to watch in front of the winning post, as the runners flash by, venture into the centre of the course for a full 360 degree view of the track, or why not base yourself at the final fence to take in the wonderful sight of a thoroughbred racehorse in full flight over a fence? The choice is yours - you will never get any closer to the action!

 

Food

One of the real joys of a point-to-point is just how close to the action you can get. That also includes our car park, ensuring a day's racing with us offers you the ideal opportunity to being a picnic for family and friends, and base it out of the back of your car.

Come along early and enjoy your picnic before the action gets under way, or take a break midway through the day's racing to enjoy your light refreshments.

If you are after something a bit warmer, we also have a catering unit on-site, serving a range of fast food such as burgers, sausages and chips, all you would need to keep you going.

 

Beverages

Tea, coffee and soft drinks are available from a number of outlets on the course.

There will be something to quench your thirst or curb your caffeine cravings.

For a post racing tipple, why not check out the Enclosures Bar at the nearby Horse & Jockey Hotel or head into Thurles Town.


faqs

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

No, there is no dress code for the races. Please ensure to dress warmly though !

Yes, please just ensure to keep them on a lead at all times.

Yes, of course! It is a perfect location for a picnic from your boot. Or why not treat yourself to some deliciouc snacks from our on-course catering or pop down to the local Horse & Jockey Hotel after racing.

We are lucky enough to have wide open spaces for children to play in a safe enviroment.

No, we do not have an ATM on course. Thurles town is not far from the course and there is an ATM in the service station on the way into the town.

Amenities

The Clondaw Premier point-to-point is the perfect day out for the family in the countryside and as an added bonus for parents all children U16’s have free admission.

Race goers have the opportunity to get a close up of the action when the runners are being saddled and paraded in the parade ring before their race. The fence in our home straight allows you to get a perfect viewing point of each race whether you are on foot or in the comfort of your car.

With Thurles town only a five minute drive from the track, there is a large selection of shops and restaurants to keep you busy within the area. Thurles is also steeped in GAA history as it is the birthplace of the Gaelic Athletic Association founded in 1884 by Hayes’ Hotel. Thurles is also home to Semple Stadium which is the second largest GAA stadium in Ireland with a capacity of 53,500.

MODERN DAY HERO chased home two nice types when finishing third on his debut at Quakerstown last season, and it would come as no surprise if he was to make a winning return to action in this. Stablemate Regal Thunder took a nice step forward from his debut to finish third at Ballycrystal last month, whilst Game Theatre was only beaten by eight lengths on his debut in Dromahane and would have to be respected.

TAKE SOME MORE was very unlucky not to make a winning debut at Umma House in October, as she looked the likely winner on that occasion, as she had a two-length advantage when unseating at the final fence. She would be a deserving winner of this. Our Haybob twice finished placed last season but would need to bounce back from her more recent efforts, whilst the newcomers are also worth considering in a race like this.

Preview

HUNTERS YARN was unable to double up at Dromahane over Christmas, but his connections will be seeking to swiftly put that right. Big Interest faded into eighth position having made the running in the Down Royal Hunter Chase at Christmas, but the former Joseph OReilly winner is likely better than that. Ballyphilip has not been seen in competitive action since a rare disappointing performance at Necarne in May. If bouncing back, he should be a big threat, whilst Keep Me Posted was only beaten by five lengths in this race last year and is likely next best.

Harry Kelly has won the past two editions of this race, but as he is without a runner in the race this time around, it could be Sam Curling who capitalises courtesy of COOLCULLEN. He has finished second in each of his last two starts since changing stables and should find this to be a drop in grade. Nelly O ran well on her re-appearance at Dromahane over Christmas and will be in receipt of a valuable mares allowance, whilst Foxy Rock and Rongoright both finished second last time and are also contenders.

SHARP AS GLASS returned on his own here in November, and he could well double his tally at this venue. Ya Will Ya would look to be the pick of the opposition. He missed an engagement in a Hunter Chase at Limerick over Christmas when he was reported to be coughing, but prior to that, he had won in good style at Ballindenisk, and the form of that race has been boosted since. Mint Approved, Jigsaw Juke, Man Of The House and Regal Prince are other last time out winners.
