Track Biography:

The West Waterford Hunt was formed in 1915 from the amalgamation of the Coshmore and Cois Bride hunts. The first Lismore Point to Point was held in 1912  under the Coshmore Hunt and since 1923 the event has been held in the grounds of Lismore Castle estate .

The course  lies to the west of the Castle with a backdrop of typical West Waterford country and the Knockmealdown Mountains rising in the distance.

The point to point has a large dedicated committee of volunteers who throw their full energy into making the day a success.

The course is anticlockwise away from the Lismore towards Tallow with a long straight in front of the main spectator areas leading to a shorter straight rising to a hill on the far side of the course then bending back downhill to a finish once again in front of the main spectator area.

For those with the time and a desire to enjoy the scenery of West Waterford before crossing the Blackwater River Bridge at Youghal take the left turn on the Cork side of the bridge and follow the Blackwater River in a general northerly direction through Knockanore and then follow the signs for Lismore.

The ground is generally in a firm condition even after prolonged periods of rain due to the drainage through the limestone bed rock .

Facilities

Lismore Point-to-Point is very much an enthusiasts event. However, close to the venue are the Green Road back
into Lismore, a well-appointed children’s playground and a number of good restaurants.

The view of the course is unobstructed from the car park and main spectator area which overlook the entire course. The car park is a popular venue for picnics when the weather is kind.

There is an on-course betting ring for those who want to have a flutter.

Food

Light snacks and sweets are an option for those planning to eat in Lismore later.

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

Beverages

There is a choice of hot and cold drinks on offer, from teas and coffees to soft drinks served to you from our outside catering vendors.

IS THERE A DRESS CODE FOR POINT-TO-POINTS?

There is no dress code but the usual health warning is given for March weather; prepare for the worst and hope for the best. We have had days that began with snow showers and then finished with a heat wave but generally we enjoy mild spring weather on the day.

Dogs are welcome but should be on a lead at all times.

Patrons are welcome to bring their own food and many do and enjoy picnics adjacent to the course.

At our point-to-point, we are lucky to have wide open spaces for children to play in a safe environment also, the West Waterford Hunt will be happy to introduce youngsters to the Hunt horses. The park in Lismore and the children?s playground will be open to the public on race day.

There are no ATM facilities at the course but there are ATM ?s at both the AIB and Bank of Ireland branches in Lismore and also at the supermarket between the banks , all a few minutes? walk from the course.

Amenities

A day at Lismore point-to-point races is the ideal day out for all the family.

For those with the time and a desire to enjoy the scenery of West Waterford before crossing the Blackwater River Bridge at Youghal take the left turn on the Cork side of the bridge and follow the Blackwater River in a general northerly direction through Knockanore and then follow the signs for Lismore.

One of the real treats of racing at Lismore, is just close racegoers can get to all the action.

Preview

The Gigginstown House Stud-owned pair of BLOODSTONE offers the best of the previous form, as having managed to get among the placings on his. He is a well-bred individual that was bought by Gordon Elliott for E120,000 as a three-year-old, and he stayed on late to take second at Knockanard behind the impressive Ferny Hollow. The likely dangers will come from the newcomers.

Ellen Doyle could hold the key to this race, as her Alko Rouge and DEFUTURE IS BRIGHT both put up big performances in the autumn, with the latter having only been denied by the narrowest of margins at Moig South in a four-year-old which saw the front pair pull a distance clear of their rivals. Alko Rouge meanwhile came down at the final fence in Corbeagh House with the race at his mercy. Ultimate Getaway ran well for a long way on his debut before only finishing an above average winner too good at Tinahely, whilst Ajays Way, Kildrum, Knockenagh and Sonru are others to consider.

THATS THE TRUTH came up against what was likely an above average winner on her debut at Lingstown last month, and having given a good account of herself to finished a fine second, she would have to be given leading claims to go one better here. Immortality is the big unknown factor, being an own-sister to Cheltenham Festival fancy Laurina, and if she was to appear her on debut, she would surely have her supporters. Maifitzs Madonna has made the frame in each of her two most recent outings, suggesting she is not far from getting her head in front, whilst Direct Image was second on debut.

SHANACOOLE goes in search of the hat-trick in this following back-to-back successes at Dungarvan and Nenagh and he looks to be the one to beat coming into this. Woodbrook Boy is in a similar position with his latest success coming at Tinahely, and his stable had a winner at Borris House last Sunday ensuring they remain in good form, whilst Notice To Close proved himself to be a very tough individual when he got his head in front at Knockanard.

SYDNEY PAGET was not at his best at Navan in the recent Hunter Chase, however he can be excused that effort and will be hoping to regain the winning thread in this. He will have to be back to his best to do so as Fennos Storm will not be easy to crack despite having been beaten last time out, particularly if the ground was to come up on the softer side here. Former Cheltenham Festival winner Lac Fontana has not been a regular in competitive action in recent times but won well at Ballynoe and therefore has to be respected, whilst It Came To Pass will improve for his run at Kildorrery.

NOT FOU SALE may well have disappointed in a similar event at Tallow last month, however he was let down his jumping on that occasion, and has to be given a second chance on what he produced at Aghabullogue before that. Shanacoole Prince has been unable to fully recapture his form of last spring, but can never be discounted alongside the mare Crystal Kate who has finished placed in four of her last five starts.?
