The Carlow Farmers’ point-to-point races take place tomorrow (Sunday) at Borris House where a large entry has been received -154 – so it could be an extended card with dry weather conditions and temperatures around 11 degrees.
The first race starts at 1pm with yielding ground conditions.
Most entries are for the first three races; the four-year-old mares maiden (33), the four-year-old maiden geldings (29) and the five-year-old geldings maiden race, (39) so it will be fast and furious and ultra-competitive.
A successful day’s racing is expected, with strong support from Wexford anticipated in the neighbouring county Carlow.
Racing took place today (Saturday) in Duhallow, Co. Cork where Sean Doyle’s seven-year-old mare Between Waters won her fourth race of the season in the Open Race. Ridden by Jamie Scallan the winning verdict was one length.
Ellen Doyle’s Baltimore Stables at Coolgarrow, Enniscorthy, saddled newcomer Divine Diva (Brian Dunleavy up) in the maiden race for four-year-old mares and celebrated with a two lengths victory.
