The point-to-point scene has taken a bit of a buffeting due to the prolonged inclement weather conditions that resulted in waterlogged tracks, but it appears to be getting back into the swing again and there is been plenty of action over the last week.

Jamie Codd won the last three races at Ballyraggett on Sunday afternoon and ended the day one winner behind Barry O’Neill in the national point-to-point rider’s championship, 31-30.

Codd won the Winner of One Race on Financial Outcome, trained by John Paul Brennan for his father, Thomas, by ten lengths before adding victories for Rory O’Meara on Coolnagorna Giggs in the Open Lightweight Race and Take Revenge for Martin Brassil by six lengths in the maiden race for older geldings.

Redzor in the colours of Gorey hotelier and businesman, Paddy Redmond, won the maiden race for five year old geldings by three lengths. Having his third outing, Redzor is trained at Ballydarragh, Craanford, by Liam Kenny, a combination responsible for One For Arthur, the winner of the 2017 Aintree Grand National who won his point-to-point at Lingstown before being sold to Lucinda Russell’s stable in Scotland. The winning rider was Richie Deegan.

Donnchadh Doyle and the Monbeg Syndicate were also successful at the Kilkenny venue when Executive Capilano won the mares maiden for five year olds and keeps up a good winning run for Tinahely jockey, James Walsh.

Two days action at Durrow yielded further success and on Sunday the Cleariestown trainer Mark Scallan saddled Rainbows At Dawn for Andrew Walsh, (18), from Duncormick, who was riding his third winner of the season. He won by four lengths.

There was also an owner-trainer victory for Shane Byrne, Blackwater, as Devito’sredrobin took the five years old maiden race by two and a half lengths.

Leading novice rider Sean O’Keeffe, who won on Knockan Run for northern trainer Ian Ferguson at Tyrella on Monday, was back in the winners’ enclosure at Durrow on Saturday after a six lengths victory on Pierce Power’s (The Hook) Treasure Dillon in the maiden race for four year old geldings.

Half an hour earlier the Colin Bowe, Milestone Racing Partnership and jockey Barry O’Neill celebrated success in the maiden race for four year old mares. The winning margin was eight lengths.

There was a third Wexford trained victory at the Laois track when Shane O’Rourke, Foulksmills, won the maiden race for six year olds by three lengths on The Boom Is Back for the owner and trainer, father and son partnership, Jimmy and Vincent Devereux, Rostoonstown Stud, Tomhaggard.

Tyrella in East Down went ahead on Monday, March 19th and the Wexford raiders were found to be in winning form.

Colin Bowe’s Its All A Lark, with Barry O’Neill up, was the five lengths winner of the maiden race for five and six year old mares and Benny Walsh was the trainer and rider of Aclassagold, running in the colours of Rory Cleary, who had six lengths to spare in the maiden race for five and six year old geldings.

The Bree Foxhounds point-to-point at Monksgrange was cancelled and the fixture rescheduled for Sunday, April 29th.
