Track Biography:
Ballindenisk point-to-point has a long history of holding point-to-points, dating back over a hundred years. The original point-to-point races were held over a banks course in the 1890’s.
The course is situated on the farm of Robert Fell and is also used for eventing as well as having hosted European and World Championships. Set in a rural area near Watergrasshill the course is made up of volunteer racing enthusiasts which includes former jockey/trainer and Clerk of the course John O’Callaghan.
Over the years Ballindenisk has produced many top class horses that have gone on to sell for large amounts of money in the UK sales. These include Conna Castle, Native Jack, Artic Copper and Awbeg Prince.

Our venue offers spectators brilliant viewing facilities, whereby all parts of the track can be seen. The horses race right up to the crowd, jump one fence and before turning back out into the country side. The finish line is situated in front of the crowd also – so you can cheer the horses!
We have unlimited parking spaces and plenty shelter should a light shower intervene during the day. With warm drinks along with hot and cold food on offer, the races are a great day out for all – friends, family, club members - catch up over the Christmas period and have some fun in the fresh air.

If all that fresh air gets your tummy rumbling or you need a hot drink to warm up we have a great variety to keep your energy levels up!

Preview
Jonathan Fogarty sent out his fifth winner of the season at Dromahane on Tuesday, and it would be no surprise to see him add to that here with FIVE SHIROS and Bessie Grove both likely to hold leading claims. The former was well-supported at Lingstown on her return to action when only finding one rival too strong. Phantom Of Delight was not beaten too far at Knockmullen House in November and could be best of the rest.

MODERN DAY HERO made his debut in a hot Quakerstown maiden in the spring, finishing third behind a subsequent hurdle winner. He looks to be the one to beat on his return to action. Catching Jets only found one rival too strong when making his debut in challenging conditions at Ballycrystal last month. His conqueror from that Wexford venue was subsequently bought by Gordon Elliott for 185,000stg, whilst Dark Til Daylight improved from his debut to finish third at Borris House.

OH MY JENNY only went down by a narrow margin on her return to action around here in November, and she sets the standard in this for a stable that was already among the winners in Limerick at the beginning of the week. Faha Moonstone was in the process of running a promising debut at Rathcannon when coming down at the last, whilst Shell Be Kept was sent off as the favourite when finishing second here in November.

Preview
It is hard to look beyond the six-time open winner LIFETIME AMBITION for this after he ran out the facile winner of a similar contest at Turtulla in mid-November. King Alex has returned in excellent form this season, and he was only denied by a narrow margin in a big-field contest around here just over a month ago, which would leave him as the biggest threat.

Sam Curling was the handler to follow in the pre-Christmas term, and he looks to have a strong hand in this. JETAWAY SHELDON and Vicomte Le Brave are both new additions to his stables in recent weeks, with the former having only been beaten by a length when second at Curraghmore in October. The Tipperary handler also has Coolcullen in this, who has finished second in his last two starts, whilst of the others, Inyoureyes could be a contender if stepping forward from his recent return run at Dromahane.

Absent since finishing third around here in May, this could be a nice opportunity for VODKA SPLASH, as the six-year-old has finished placed in two of his last three starts. Desert Bride is the only other horse in the line-up with a previous placed effort to their name, as she finished third in a similar contest at Ballynoe in March.
