Track Biography:

Tallow is held under the auspices of West Waterford Hunt and has been running for over 100 years and is one of the oldest in the country.  It is held annually on the first Sunday in February.

Tallow is steeped in equine history and has some very famous stud farms and national hunt racing stables in the area. Namely The Beeches Stud whose owner Mr Bobby McCarthy is one of the longest serving members on our committee.

Rathbarry Stud is also close by and trainers Liam Burke and Jimmy Mangan are also on the Committee.  We have a very committed group of volunteers from the farming and racing fraternity and we generally are called on to help out with other local point-to-points during the season.

The races have moved three times since inception and are now located on the Conna road outside of Tallow on the lands of trainer Jimmy Mangan.  Jimmy has trained many famous horses over the years with the most notable being Montys Pass winner of the Aintree Grand National.

Colin Bowe has won two of the last four renewals of this race and he has entered a seven-strong team of horses this year to try and continue that strong recent record in the race. Whichever one of those horses takes up this engagement are sure to prove popular. Many of the leading yards are represented including Declan Queally whose horses are running to strike rate of over 60 per cent, and the market will give the best guide as to what is expected from these newcomers.

Maike Magnussen has been a handler to follow this season with her yard boasting a phenomenal 60 per cent strike rate for the campaign and EASY TO FOLLOW could keep her winning run going. She was only denied by a short-head at Dromahane at the end of December in a race which received a boost last week when the horse that finished immediately behind her won comfortably at Cragmore. Cloudy Fountain, Inchiquin Spirit and Sarah Jane are all horses that could enter the mix.

Luck has not always been on the side of runners from the John Murphy of late with a number of his runners falling in the closing stages when holding leading claims, but he will be hoping for a change of fortunes with IRIS DES ISSARDS. That French bred kept on to take third at Boulta on his debut which bodes well for his second outing. Kilbarry Hill will bid to bounce back from his run at Tinahely when he was the subject of market support, whilst Paddy De Pole and Iceman De Turgeon can also get involved.

Cold Sobar has spent over a year on the sidelines but was placed by behind the recent Grade 1 Tolworth Hurdle winner Tahmuras on his debut in Ballingarry back in may 2021, whilst Jessmae is a horse with two placed efforts to his name.

The Cheltenham Festival was being spoken about for ROCKYS HOWYA after he brushed aside the reigning champion mare La Feline to win at Aghabullogue by 29 lengths and he bids to become the first horse this season to move onto the five-winner here. He is one of three open winners from this season to feature among the entries for this alongside Chatham Street Lad and Woodbrook Boy, with the latter having upset Aloneamongmillions last time in Dromahane.

Preview

SHOT TOWER did not get the same uncontested lead that he had enjoyed at Ballindenisk in December when in action at Ballyvodock last Sunday, but he still ran a very respectable race to finish third and it would be no surprise to see him emerge in front. The mare Cloudy Fountain is the obvious danger having finished a close third at Aghabullogue on her debut in this sphere, whilst the returning The Kids Choice will also have the benefit of the mares allowance for her seasonal re-appearance having been sent off as the favourite at Dromahane in April when making the frame.
