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.

The Matt Collins-trained I SEE YOU NOW stands out among these 41 entries following a very promising introduction at Castlelands when he finished third. The fourth-placed horse went close in Ballyragget last Sunday, whilst the race winner was bought by Gordon Elliott for 310,000stg at the Cheltenham Festival sale recently. Stable companion Getupearly also made the placings on his debut as too did Lucky Zebo and Grey Dalco who are obvious threats.

A case can be made for quite a few of these but it would seem to be LADY KATE that stands out from the back courtesy of her close second at Lisronagh last month which came in a big-field maiden. She seems to be improving of late and may complete the sequence by getting her head in front here. Apple Away, Rule Of June, Country Kitten and Miss Benjo are among the obvious dangers that should not be overlooked.

KYM EYRE put up what visually was a particularly impressive looking performance when she made a winning debut at Kildorrery last month. Those that finished behind her have since struggled to advertise the form, however she looked a class above and could be the answer to this. Stable companions Knockanrye and Fiery Brown finished first and third at Borris House recently and the horse that split them has since gone on to beat geldings when landing a Hunter Chase at Down Royal which is particularly eye-catching, whilst Rose Of Coolbally is the other big threat as she has won no fewer than four races this season and represents in-form connections.

Preview

MACS LEGEND remains a massive credit to his connections and he belied his advancing years when winning at Bandon in recent weeks and seven years on from his first appearance at this venue, he could well record his third success at this track having won the corresponding race in 2019. Na Trachtalai Abu was unable to back up his Tallow success when disappointing in Lisronagh but he cannot be discounted and remains a danger alongside Rose Of Coolbally and Clounts Glory.

Preview

DRAGON ROCK offered plenty of promise on his debut at Borris House earlier in the month and with Turnthelightsoff, a horse that he had finished in front of, subsequently advertising the form in Ballyragget he may be the one to follow in this. Ultimate Optimist would be a rare runner in an older maiden for Donnchadh Doyle and is definitely worth a second look following his debut, with Rwegoinhigh a regular in these races and he will surely have improved from his reappearance run.
