THE two-day Ormond point-to-point at Ballingarry, Roscrea is set, as is now the norm, to close the season over the Bank Holiday weekend and while it’s hard to predict what the ground will be like next Sunday and Monday with our unpredictable weather, the course will be aerated and watered if necessary.

Breeders will be drawn to the fact that there is a nomination to Bridge House Stud’s Sadler’s Wells stallion Let The Lion Roar, and €1,000, up for grabs while the leading handler over the two days will receive a tonne of oats sponsored by Dungar Quality Oats.
