Additional Entries to May Point-to-Point & Horses in Training Sale Catalogue

Additional entries have been added to the May Point-to-Point & Horses in Training Sale catalogue. The sale takes place on Thursday 28th May, and will begin at 1pm.

Mark Scallan’s four-year-old HARZWOOD will bring recent winning form to the sale after his six-and-a-half length win at Ballindenisk last Sunday. The son of Harzand stayed on gamely to make a winning debut, and is sure to be popular given his profile.

Another winning four-year-old is Michael Murphy’s DAN DE CHAMP who won the opening division of the four-year-old geldings maiden also at Ballindenisk. The son of Old Persian was delivered to lead at the second last fence, and battled on gamely to make a winning debut.

Sean Doyle’s KINGSIDE LADY is the third winning four-year-old to win on debut in the sale. The daughter of Kingston Hill was an impressive six length winner on her sole start at Ballindenisk, and looks a mare with a big future.

Paddy Turley’s LOWER DE COUELY, a five-year-old daughter of No Risk At All, made an impressive debut at Necarne earlier this month and is also an additional entry. She was held up through the early stages but made eye-catching headway from the halfway point, and after assuming control after three out, she asserted under minimal pressure to come home four-and-a-half-lengths clear.

Jonathan Fogarty has added TREASURE BORN who looked a likely winner before exiting at the final fence in a five-year-old geldings maiden at Bartlemy.

The son of Libertarian was ridden confidently by Barry O’Neill, and made rapid headway to lead on the approach to the final obstacle. The eventual third in that race was Shah, and he has enhanced the form with a ten-length success at Loughrea on Sunday.

Liz Doyle has entered the five-year-old DOUBLE DARE. The son of Ocovango showed significant improvement from first to second start when recently finishing third in a Limerick bumper. The form of that race has been enhanced with the fourth placed horse Little Ginger winning on his next start.

LITTLE GINGER will take recent winning bumper form to the sale after landing the Kilbeggan bumper last Friday.

James Fahey’s five-year-old son of Crystal Ocean was encountering a sounder surface for the first time, and seemed to improve considerably for it, as he finished with a real flourish to win by one-and-a-quarter lengths.

He’s a half-brother to the Cork National winner Dromore Lad, but he showed no shortage of gears to win on his third start.

Also added to the catalogue is Emmet Mullins’ BRAVEWAVE who has been placed in two of his three starts in bumpers. The five-year-old son of Silverwave was second in a Sligo bumper earlier this month, and before that was third in a Bellewstown bumper.

Further entries for the sale will be taken next week, after the final weekend of fixtures, staged at Inchydoney, Ballingarry and Tattersalls Ireland.
