All set for Ballycrystal races on Saturday

By Dan Walsh

It’s all go for tomorrow’s point-to-point fixture at Ballycrystal, near Kiltealy, with 146 entries for the six races run under the auspices of the Island Hunt. The first race is at 2pm.

The going is described as “soft to heavy” and the weather forecast for the region is “mainly dry” on Saturday.

Island Hunt were due to unveil a new course at Peppards Castle, between Kilmuckridge and Ballygarrett on the east coast, but persistent heavy rainfall ruled out this exciting prospect and the fixture was switched to Ballycrystal.

The organisers are hoping for a good attendance, it is a strong programme, and a great day’s point-to-point is guaranteed.
