Track Biography:

The Galway Blazers have a long history of holding a point-to-point dating back over a hundred years. The hunt dates from the beginning of the 19th century and has established itself as one of the famous Irish Hunts due to the goodwill and generosity of farmers and landowners throughout the county.

We run two meetings a year at Dartfield just outside Loughrea with the first one taking place in October and the second fixture being held in April. The course is situated at Dartfield Horse Museum and heritage centre which is set on 350 acres of parkland just forty minutes from Galway city.

Over the years, Loughrea point-to-point has produced many top national hunt stars such as Bewleys Berry, Boys Hurrah, Brindisi Breeze, Never Compromise and King Johns Castle.

Preview

PIGEON FORGE made a promising start to her career when she finished third, beaten just two lengths, at Tullaherin last month. She had been hampered at the last on that occasion, and brings some of the leading form into this. The French-bred Lissa De Thaix made the frame on debut at Loughanmore and is a definite danger, alongside Crystal Du Berlais who finished fourth at Lingstown.

Preview

GRAND CONQUEROR was beaten less than three lengths by a horse that Gordon Elliott subsequently bought for E200,000 when making his recent debut in Ballysteen. That leaves him as the standard bearer coming into this. Lands Gold, Feel No Fear, and I Walked The Line have also made the frame, but it could be a newcomer that is the biggest threat.

Preview

The Ballycahane runner-up KEEP JOY was one of the market leaders when disappointing at Loughanmore over Easter, but he could be worth a chance in an open-looking race like this, as he had been placed in his opening two efforts. Mulroy Bay enjoyed quick ground at Stradbally, whilst just over two lengths separated Aberfeldy and Dollanstown in a recent unplaced maiden at Loughrea.

One Day In May has had to settle for the runners-up spot in each of her two starts to date, so she certainly would not be winning out of turn here, but she will have to be at the top of her came, as PLEASE PROCEED, who was a newcomer when just a head behind her at Dromahane last time out and is sure to have improved for the effort. Meanwhile, Boulder Creek, Bridge Of Machalee and Giorgia Rose also hold claims.

Just a head separated I MASKED DU POTIER and Pat Coyne when they finished first and second in a similar contest at Nenagh in early March and the former will be out to re-confirm that form here having won twice since, including at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago. Ramillies was behind the selection at Quakerstown last month, which could leave Dylan Oak as the place contender.

Preview

The Nenagh maiden winner CATALANI did disappoint at Monksgrange when taking his first step into winners company, but that was likely not a true reflection of his ability, and he is worth a second chance here. Glenmalure Lady was unlucky to blunder her chance away at the last in Loughanmore last time, whilst Longhouse Star will be bidding to make amends for a midrace departure at Dawstown on Monday.
