Track Biography:

The first Westmeath Foxhounds point-to-point took place in Loughegar in 1875. The Westmeath Foxhounds point to point committee have been holding meetings in Castletown Geoghegan for almost forty years. Prior to that, meetings were held at Mullingar Racecourse at Newbrook and Cullion, now the venue of Mullingar Showgrounds and Mullingar Rugby grounds.

During our Spring fixture we have one of the most prestigious contests run in the point-to-point circuit, the Barbour Cup. It has been the race where many racing stars have returned to point-to-pointing to run in Open Lightweights and have taken part in this historic race.

In addition, many young horses who have won their maiden here, have continued very successful careers on the track.For example previous course winner,  It Takes Time won the Ascot Gold Cup and wasthird in the Stayers Hurdle at the Cheltenham festival aswell as finshing fourth in the English Grand National. Royal Caviar, who won his maiden in 2013, went on to win four times on the track as well as finishing fourth in the 2017 Arkle chase at the Cheltenham festival.

Facilities

One of the real attractions of point-to-point racing is the opportunity to get up close and personal with furture stars of Irish horse racing in a relaxed and family friendly environment.

We have an extensive car parking area which offers a brilliant view of the whole track. This allows you to bring your picnic in the boot of your vehicle which you can enjoy with your family and friends during the day’s racing.

In our bookmakers ring you can view and bet on any off-course races on the day in both England and Ireland.

 

Food

We have outside caterers who supply a variety of tasty hot foods such as burgers, sausages and chips. There will also be a range of confectionaries on offer all of which are reasonably priced.

Alternatively, why not come along early and enjoy a picnic before the action gets under way or take a break midway through the day to refuel from the boot of your car. Our extensive car park is the perfect location to relish the atmosphere of the races whilst entertaining friends and family.

Beverages

Our outside caterers sell teas, coffees and soft drinks to keep you warm during your days racing.

There are also three pubs in the nearby village of Castletown-Geoghegan where there is always a great welcome and atmosphere for patrons before and after racing.

faqs

Is there a dress code for point-to-points?

No, we do not have an official dress code we just advise our race goers to stay warm and dry for your days racing and to prepare yourself for all types of Irish weather.

Yes, we allow dogs to attend the point-to-point. However, we do ask that all dogs are kept on a lead at all times.

Yes, we welcome visitors to bring their own picnics or refreshments. We also have a range of catering options on course if you fancy picking-up something tasty on the go.

At our point-to-point, we are lucky to have wide open spaces for children to play in a safe environment.

No we do not provide an ATM so we recommend that you make a stop at an ATM on your way to the races if you are passing through Kilbeggan or Mullingar.

Amenities

A day at Castletown-Geoghegan point-to-point races is the ideal day out for all the family in the heart of the Irish countryside.

You have the opportunity to get a close up of the action when the runners are being saddled and paraded in the parade ring before their race. There is great excitement for racegoers as once you have picked out your favourite horse you can proceed to the bookies to have a little flutter.

Nothing beats the excitement of the closing stages of a race and our track ensures that you have a birdseye view. Our final fence and finishing straight are both fantastic viewing points for both spectators in their cars and spectators on foot.

Castletown-Geoghegans course is only a ten-minute drive from the picturesque Lough Ennell where the hugley popular Lilliput Adventure centre is located. If you would like to make a weekend of your time in the Midlands, Lilliput has something to offer for all of the family. If Kayaking or obstacle courses arent what you are after, why not call into Belvedere House and gardens located only 15 minutes from the point-to-point.

Newcomers account for the bulk of the 33 entries for this opening race, but RAISE YOU UP did put up a good showing when making his debut at Daramona House last month. That did come in an auction maiden, but he was only beaten four lengths, and the run should stand to him.

Preview

PONTE VEDRA bumped into a very impressive winner at Tallow back in early February, and whilst he was no match for his conqueror on that occasion, he should go closer in this as the form of his Rathcannon debut effort has worked out well, with the winner subsequently winning a bumper. That could give him the edge over the dual runner-up Park Talk, whilst Shoe Shiner, Cloghan Castle, Fortuneville and Stay Hopeful are others with claims.

MISS BUMBLEBEE looked set to collect on her debut at Daramona House when leading the field to the final fence, only to be nabbed in the closing stages. Her conqueror advertised the form last Sunday in Oldcastle, and that timely form boost would leave her as the pick for this. What A Flirth has four lengths to find with her and has the easier option in the hunt race 30 minutes earlier, which may leave Princesse Milania as the threat following her second at Borris House, whilst Our Haybob and Nelly O could also get in the mix.

I MASKED DU POTIER has risen through the ranks this season, and could take his tally to five having got the better of Pat Coyne in Nenagh on his penultimate start. That grey was arguably a shade unlucky to miss out on a third win of the season in Ballyragget last month, as a final-fence blunder handed the race to the potentially re-opposing Ciel De Neige. There likely will not be much between them again, whilst Er Dancer has eight lengths to find with them from the Kilkenny venue.

MAN OF THE HOUSE could round off a good card for Peter Flood as he put up a fine effort in Daramona House last month to suggest that the former track campaigner would be well up to winning a race like this. Maison De Balzac went close at Ballycrystal last time when he had the staying on Mellow Glory a length behind, and they are the chief dangers to the selection, alongside Fairly River who shaped with promise in Ballinaboola before coming down at the last.
