Cancelled; Point-to-point races at Tinahely

By Dan Walsh

There will be no point-to-point action at Fairwood Park, Tinahely, tomorrow (Sunday).

The popular Tinahely track was found to be unfit for racing on this (Saturday) afternoon, and with an unfavourable weather forecast for Saturday night and Sunday morning, with a status yellow Low Temperature / Ice warning from Met Éireann, the decision was made to cancel the fixture.

Meanwhile the final fixture of 2025 took place at Dromahane, Co. Cork last Tuesday and two Wexford trained winners emerged.

Newcomer Golden Current had a 12 lengths victory in the hands of Barry Stone for Jonathan Fogarty, Gaynestown, Cleariestown, in the maiden race for four-year-old geldings.

Gorey rider Luke Murphy who won his first point-to-point in the saddle eight years ago, registered his 80^th career success aboard Wilton Mills Trier for the Blackhall Stables of Paul Martin Pierce at Killurin in the five and six-year-old mares maiden race. It was Pierce’s 45^th winner as a handler and newcomer Wilton Mills Trier now heads for the sales.
