One hundred and twenty-two entries have been received for tomorrow’s Killinick Harriers point-to-point at Lingstown, Tomhaggard, with the first race off at 1pm.
The biggest entries are in the four-year-old geldings maiden race (36) and the five and six-year-old geldings maiden race (33), so ‘divides’ may be a possibility.
The track is reported as “soft, heavy in places” and the card features an Open Race over the Banks Course.
Sunday will be a mostly cloudy day with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, turning persistent at times in the east. Mist patches too with highest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees. North to northeast winds will be mostly light to moderate but will continue strong at times.
Racing took place today (Saturday) at Kirkistown, Co. Down and there was a victory for the national rider and handler champions, Barry O’Neill and Colin Bowe when Birmingham Alabama, in the colours of Leo McArdle, got the verdict by a neck in the maiden race for mares five-year-old and plus.
