THE Ward Union Hunt’s decision to return to The Folly outside Oldtown in 2012 for their annual point-to-point has proven a wise move with landowner William Duffy taking huge pride in providing a top-class racing surface each year.

Duffy’s commitment, backed up by that of the point-to-point committee, has seen The Folly develop a lofty reputation among the country’s leading owners and trainers who target the north Co Dublin venue with their best young horses.
