The scene is set for Sunday’s point-to-point action with the Wexford Hunt fixture at Knockmullen House, on the outskirts of New Ross, which has received a healthy 94 entries.
First race at 12.30pm. Six races. The ground is described as “Good, Good to Yielding down the hill.”
Another cool day with highest temperatures of just 7 to 11 degrees,
Jonathon Fogarty, Gaynestown Stud, Cleariestown, and 18 years old rider Alex O’Keeffe shared a double today (Saturday) at Quakerstown, Co. Clare.
Sereine D’Annan was a one length winner of the maiden race for four-year-old mares and Governor Max won by seven lengths in the maiden race for five-year-old geldings.
The third Wexford trained winner was newcomer Hero Of Demacia in the colours of the Monbeg Syndicate handled by Donnchadh Doyle and ridden by Rob James in division one of the maiden race for four-year-old geldings. Five lengths the distance.
