Saturday point-to-point action took place at Newry, Co. Down and Wexford stables were in winning form in the opening three races, but it was champion rider Barry O’Neill who stole the show with three wins on the trot.
Colin Bowe and Barry O’Neill continued their winning ways with a nine lengths victory for Lady Doyanne for John Dawson in the maiden race for five-year-old plus mares.
O’Neill continued successfully on two of David Christie’s winners; Vaucelet in the Open Race and King In The Park in the Winner of One race. The latter was a close finish with ‘a head’ separating King In The Park ridden by Harry Goff.
Cormac Doyle saddled newcomer Freshers Week in the Monbeg Farm Racing Partnership colours in the maiden race for four-year-olds to score by a neck under Darragh Higgins. Runner-up was the Rob James handled and ridden Son Of Tyran.
Sean Doyle won the maiden race for five-year-old geldings with Park Talk in the silks of the Monbeg Partnership. Jamie Scallan the winning rider and one length the advantage on the finish line.
