Track Biography:

Most commonly know now as the home of Irish Jump Racing Punchestowns history begins with Kildare Hunt Club.

One of the oldest in the country, the history of the Kildare Hunt Club goes back as far as the 18th century with the first Master being Squire Connolly of Castletown.

The Hunt Club would host races in various locations around the county but in the 1840’s during the master ship of John La Touche the members of Kildare Hunt Club decided to buy the lands at Punchestown.

Those lands are still held by the trustees of Kildare Hunt Club and continue to be used as the location for the point-to-point.

As our point-to-point is located at Punchestown race course, we are very lucky to have the use of some of the permanent fixtures at the race course.

This means if you are travelling with small children we are able to provide changing facilities for babies and toddlers.

If the weather is a little unkind on the day, race goers are able to use the stands along the home straight in order to watch the action without getting wet.

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

There will be two caterers on site on Sunday.

One of our caterers will be offering a variety of hot refreshments and they will also be serving delicious toasted sandwiches.

There will also be a chip van on site serving a range of burgers and chips for those looking for something a little more substantial.

Race goers can purchase teas, coffees and soft drinks from our outside catering outlet.

No, we do not have an official dress code we just advise our race goers to wear warm coats, caps and good footwear.
Dogs are very welcome, but need to be kept on a lead at all times.
Yes, we welcome visitors to bring their own picnics or refreshments but why not treat yourself to a tasty hot lunch from our outside caterers from your race winnings.
At our point-to-point, we are lucky to have wide open spaces for children to play in a safe environment.

Set amongst the beautiful Kildare countryside, our race track is situated at the historic Punchestown race course.

On the day we run a competition for the most appropriately dressed family at the point-to-point.

CHOSEN HERO could put the experience that she gained when a fine a third at Dromahane on her debut at the beginning of the month here in a race which is made up largely of newcomers. She was only beaten by just over three lengths on that occasions and sets a strong benchmark for this even as the only horse in this with a completed effort to their name.

Preview

Colin Bowe has his team of four-year-old runners in top form in recent weeks and it would be no surprise if WASPY was to go two places better than what he had managed at Dawstown on debut at the beginning of the month. Imperial Assassin was likely booked for third when exiting at the final fence in Largy and is the obvious danger, with Minella Double and Lunar Contact.

IMONLYSAYING is among the entries for a Kilbeggan bumper on Friday, but if bypassing that to come here he would look to be the one to beat here having only been narrowly denied at Lingstown back in March on his one and only outing to date. This has a competitive look to it however, and there are plenty of horses capable of putting it up to the selection including Neblin, Tea And Chats, Lockout and the Tom Keating trio of Lucky Zebo, Imperial Alex, and Dr Lockdown.

AN DROICHEAD GORM let his supporters down in the Bishopscourt Cup at the recent Punchestown Festival when several mistakes saw the short-priced favourite beat just one horse home. He is taken to make amends here at the expense of Alpha Male who will be running in this for the fourth time with a best of two second-placed finishes in it for the 2018 Bishopscourt Cup winner.

Preview

A Rated bids to keep his champion point-to-point horse title hopes alive as he goes in search of a fifth win of the campaign having defeated a number of his potentially re-opposing rivals in recent weeks, including both Some Are Lucky and Er Dancer. However his biggest test could come in this if DIESE DES BIEFFES, who bypassed a potential engagement last weekend, was to make his return to action here having started the season so impressively with dominant victories at Monksgrange and Loughrea.

Preview

PEARLOFLORIDAY has contested two big-field maidens in recent weeks, showing nice improvement between her Castletown-Geoghegan debut and her latest outing in Fairyhouse when she was beaten by less than five lengths. It would likely not take much further improvement for her to go two places better here for Shane Broderick. Granny Lowrie is a former maiden hurdle winner back in August 2020 but was subsequently disqualified and has returned to Pat Doyle following a disappointing effort last summer. Of the others, I Aint No Joke stands out having finished third at Lisronagh in March.
