Track Biography:

East Down Foxhounds Point-to-Point course at Tyrella is situated at the foot of the picturesque Mourne Mountains made famous by the Percy French song.

With the 2018 Spring season, East Down will have been racing at Tyrella for fifty four years. Two meetings are held each Spring, in January and March.

Normally the first meeting of the Spring calendar in the Northern Region, Tyrella is a right handed undulating track where, given it’s close proximity to the sea and sandy soil is well drained and more often than not, produces good going.

This video from @NotFromHereStories gives you a snapshot of the picture-postcard setting that Tyrella point-to-point takes place in.

Our outside catering vendor has a variety of catering options from tasty hot lunches to sandwiches and confectionary.

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

We don?t have a dress code but do recommend suitable clothing.
Yes, no problem at all but they must be kept on a lead at all times.

A day at Tyrella point-to-point races is the ideal day out for all the family in the heart of the Mourne Country.

One of the real treats of racing at Tyrella, is just how close racegoers can get to the action.

Watch the horses being saddled up by their trainers before making your way to the parade ring where the horses, jockeys and connections gather to discuss their pre-race tactics.

Preview

A strong showing was clearly expected from NAMEYOURGAME, as the close relation of the Cheltenham Festival winner Put The Kettle On, was sent off as an odds-on favourite when making his debut at Oldtown last month. That was over the shorter two and a half mile trip, but this course and the likely better conditions should stand to him. Of the others with experience, Milord DAnjou may have only finished an 18-length sixth in Bellharbour, but he likely ran better than that finishing result, in what will have been an educational introduction.

ORDER ANOTHER ONE bounced back to form around here in January, and a return to this track could see Warren Ewing rewarded with a first success of the season. Morissette ran two solid races before Christmas and is entitled to have stepped forward following a short break, whilst Back In Favour was running a respectable race before coming down at the last in Borris House.

THAT?S IT PADDY was the subject of market support ahead of his debut in Nenagh last month, and whilst that money was left behind with the bookies, when he finished fourth, connections will be hoping for compensation here. Clementshill Lad has already proven his liking for this venue, as he overcame an error two-out to finish a close fifth here in January, whilst Boy Of Monego Bay and Pagims Du Brizais are others not without their chances if bouncing back to form.

WEST OF IDAHO was certainly not winning out of turn when he opened his account here in January, as he had started off his career last year by getting within four lengths of the leading Champion Bumper contender Keep Him Company. It may have taken him five further attempts to get his head in front, but now having done so, he could swiftly double his tally. Time In A Bottle was also a winner at the January meeting here, and a return to this track should be a positive for her after venturing to Knockanard last time, whilst the returning Arkhill could be capable of more on his belated seasonal re-appearance.

CLOUGH CLOUDS may be turning out just seven days after his Farmacaffley success; however, he won with what looked like quite a bit in hand on that occasion, which should see him quickly back up here as he is quite a bit ahead of these rivals on previous form. The Loughanmore maiden winner Colvin should enjoy the drop in grade, and he could be next best.

Sam Curling could add to his 32 winners so far this season in this, as his COOLCULLEN and Glenmalure Flyer have both been knocking on the door for some time, with a combined seven placed finishes between them from this season alone. The 83-rated hurdler Firstupbestdressed did not get very far on his chasing debut at Downpatrick in August, but on the pick of his track form he would not be without his chances against the Curling pair.
