The 2023-’24 point-to-point racing season kicked off at Castletown-Geoghegan under the auspices of the Westmeath Foxhounds yesterday (Sunday) and the reigning champions handler Colin Bowe and rider Barry O’Neill made their mark with a double on day one.
Emily’s Choice in the colours of Brendan Murphy prevailed by a neck in the maiden race for five- and six-year-old mares – the second race on the card.
Success was easier for Agent Tequila in the Milestone Bloodstock Ltd colours – 14 lengths to spare – in the maiden race for five- and six-year-old geldings.
First action of the new season in this region comes to Fairwood, Tinahely, on Sunday, October 15th and six fixtures in the south-east region before the end of December.
