Track Biography:

The Stonehall Harriers were formed in 1911 and have their kennels in Bansha Askeaton, Co. Limerick.
Point-to-points have been a large part of the hunts calendar for many years.

We now run 3 meetings a year Ballysteen & Moig South.

Many talented riders and horses have graduated from the Stonehall Harriers point-to-points Adrian Maguire rode his first winner on this track which we hope to see this continuing in the years to come.

This will be our second year in Cragmore on the Costello’s Family land and is a terrific track which is always very well received. 

Grade 1 winner Death Duty won his four-year-old maiden here in 2015 and provided Derek O’Connor with his 1000th winner between the flags, making him the first point-to-point rider to ever achieve this remarkable milestone.

Preview

Aidan Fitzgerlad could be well represented in this, as he is responsible for four of the 14 entries, including Broomfield Aderra and TRUSTFALL, who both finished fourth last time. Marginal preferences go to the latter, as she was only beaten just over a length in Ballyraggat, a race that has already seen the first two home both subsequently win bumpers. The Tinahely runner-up Cool Native is next best.

STROLL IN THE PARK was unable to back up his promising debut from Dromahane in April when returning to that Cork venue in November. He is worth a second chance. Shoe Shinner had finished two lengths behind him on their respective debuts, but he needs to recapture his best. Stablemate Inishcorker should improve for his Boulta introduction, whilst Diamond Flush posted his best effort to date when third at Ballycrystal last month.

CONS ROC has the measure of the former champion point-to-pointer Rockys Howya in a maiden hunter chase company at Limerick over Christmas, and he will bid to confirm that form as he builds up to a potential Cheltenham Festival bid. Carnfunnock and Milan Forth both chased home Winged Leader on their most recent attempts in open company, although the latter did add a Hunter Chase win to his CV in Clonmel last week, whilst Rye Hill adds further depth to this.

THE GREAT UNKNOWN is a well-related mare who had been bought for a six-figure price at the store sales, and after failing to get her head in front on the track for Henry de Bromhead, the Killarney runner-up could make an immediate impact on her first start for new connections. What A Flirth has also changed hands of late. She went close off a mark of 82 at Ayr in October on her final start for Dan Skelton, whilst The Real Beaut and De Cuckoo are others for the shortlist.

MAKING COUNTRY did not make the impact that many had hoped for him after his maiden win in Turtulla, but the return to the pointing fields could see him become a competitive force once again as he returns from an absence of a year. If there are any fitness concerns with the selection, Trooper Carton is likely best placed to take advantage as he followed up his Boulta win by going down fighting at Aghabullogue.

All eyes will be on the newcomer OCCUPATIONAL FORCE as the E180,000 purchase is a brother of the talented Lingstown winner Barry The Butcher, and big things will be expected if he is to match the debut of his sibling. Goodbymick will be more at home in this company, and whilst he did pull-up in this race last year, he did start this season off very strongly with three consecutive placed finishes.
