Ballyragget in Co. Kilkenny was the venue for today’s point-to-point which produced three Wexford winners.
Newcomer Custodium, owned, handled and ridden by Luke Murphy from Inch, Gorey, scored by ten lengths in the maiden race for four-year-old geldings.
Cormac Doyle’s good run of luck continued in the maiden race for five-year-old geldings where Bold Opinion, in the colours of Patrick J. McCarthy, came home ten lengths clear of the field. Jack Hendrick was the winning rider.
Garrett Murphy and the Turbine Syndicate from Ballymitty are having a great season and another fine victory came their way today when newcomer Queen Of The Grove took the mares’ five-year-old plus maiden race by one and a half lengths. The winning rider was Shane O’Rourke.
Next Sunday’s point-to-point is The Island Hunt fixture at Ballycrystal, Kiltealy. Entries close tomorrow (Monday) at 12 noon. First race at 1pm.
