Track Biography:

Aghabullogue has been in operation since 1988.  The course is situated just outside Aghabullogue village.  Many people park in the village and walk down to the course.

The point-to-point is run over John Murphy’s land who is also our chairman and has been from day one. The course itself is a real test of stamina and it is a great viewing track for spectators.

Over the years many top racehorses have won at Aghabullogue including Cheltenham Foxhunters winner Whyso Mayo who has won three times here at Aghabullogue, Lovely Citizen who also won the Cheltenham Foxhunters and Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Imperial Call who was also trained on the land.

Is there a dress code for point-to-points?

We don?t have a dress code but do recommend wellies and a warm coat as it is January after all!

Absolutely bring them along, the more the merrier!

Yes, all visitors are welcome to bring their own picnics.

At our point-to-point, we are lucky to have wide open spaces for children to play in a safe environment.

No we do not provide an ATM so we recommend that you make a stop in the nearby town of Macroom which is 8 miles from the track.

Amenities

Traditionally our race day has been an occasion when the people of the parish came out in large numbers to enjoy a day of fun and activity.

We are located just over half an hour drive from Cork city and Cork airport which makes it extremely accessible for visitors to combine a city break with a day out in the countryside.

Preview

QUEEN OF THE GALES went close in tough conditions on her debut at Peppards Castle in October, and whilst she could not follow that up when sent off as a short-priced favourite at Quakerstown, she could be worth a second chance following a short break. Miss Doyenne chased home an exciting sort at Dromahane a fortnight ago and would be unlucky to bump into another horse of that calibre two runs in a row.

Preview

This does not look like the easiest puzzle to solver with no obvious placed form to go on, so it may be worth siding with FIDDLEINTHEMIDDLE and the in-form Ellen Doyle. That stable enjoyed a treble at Dromahane recently, and this five-year-old was sent off as the favourite for his debut in Borris House last season before falling whilst still involved. Stablemate Ice Prowler finished fifth at Boulta, whilst the newcomers are also worth a market check.

Preview

The 2021 King George victor is the star attraction for what would be his point-to-point debut. Previously under the care of Willie Mullins, the now 12-year-old has not been seen since going close in the 2022 Clonmel Oil Chase. If retaining that old ability, the 163-rated chaser could be tough to oppose. Ciel De Neige is another track recruit and he has finished placed at both the Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals, whilst King Alex, Vado Forte and Ballinrea all outran their starting prices in their respective latest outings.

Preview

PADDYSKATIE has not been seen since pulling up at this fixture 12 months ago, but she could be a tentative selection in a wide-open race as she had posted two respectable efforts as a four-year-old. Muriel May ran three times for Alan King but has joined Con McSweeney for her point debut, whilst Nolans Rocco is a newcomer that would look to have found a nice opportunity for her debut.

Preview

HUNT AWAY pounced late to win a four-year-old maiden at Dromahane in the autumn and that form has to be respect as he takes on his elders. Trooper Carton and Fiddledee are other last-time-out maiden winners stepping up in grade, whilst Forest Rock is likely better than his return effort in Boulta, so it would be no surprise to see him play a part in this.

JASMIN DES BLINS returned from an absence of a year by finishing a fine third on home turf in Ballycrystal last month and it would be no surprise to see him take a further step forward here. Rag N Bone is back pointing following a couple of runs in maiden hurdles of late. He went close at Tattersalls in the spring behind a horse that has won since to leave him as the danger, whilst the likes of Cold Old Fire and Mount Rinjani are others not without their chances.
