Two point-to-point meetings today (Sunday) at Tattersalls and Boulta but no Wexford winners at the Meath track and three winning Wexford connections at the Cork track at Boulta was the outcome.
First timer Lady Rose Hackett in the Blackhall Stables partnership colours brought success to Paul Martin Pierce’s Killurin stables with a two and a half lengths victory in the maiden race for four-year-old mares. Sean Staples, Duncormick, was in the saddle and the impressive mare will be destined for the sales ring.
Another newcomer Rosscahill owned by Caitriona Goff and handled by her husband, Michael Goff, at Clondaw, Ferns, had five lengths to spare at the end of the maiden race for four-year-old geldings. Mickey Sweeney was the successful rider and Rosscahill is also sales bound.
Cleariestown rider Barry Stone teamed up with Waterford handler Paul Power on Gentleman Bill in the maiden race for five-year-old geldings and it ended well with a one length victory for owner Fionan O’Driscoll from Tramore.
