Traditionally the Spring Lingstown point-to-point races take place on the Sunday before the Cheltenham Festival and this year is no different.
133 entries have been received for tomorrow’s (Sunday) Killinick Harriers fixture. First race off at 1pm.
The going is ‘yielding’ and the weather forecast for tomorrow is dry and mostly sunny, with temperatures ranging from 13 to 16 degrees and light to moderate northeast winds.
Thirteen entries have been entered for the unique Open Race run over the famous ‘Lingstown banks’ which is always a popular challenge with the punters in attendance.
Joint-champion riders’ Barry O’Neill and Rob James are level at the top of the table with 24 winners each after both had a winner each this afternoon.
O’Neill made the long journey to Kirkistown, Co. Down, where he partnered My Life Be Like for David Christie for a seven lengths success in the maiden race for five-year-old geldings.
James went to Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, where he teamed up with the Monbeg Syndicate and Donnchadh Doyle for a six lengths victory with Catalani in the maiden race for six-year-old geldings plus.
