A SUCCESSFUL five days at Punchestown for Irish point-to-point graduates, has in part contributed to the month of April matching last year’s total of 146 winners, in what has been another recording breaking season on the track for the sports graduates.

Twelve races in total, including two Grade 1 prizes, fell to former Irish point-to-pointers, with Minella Indo completing the Cheltenham-Punchestown double in the Irish Daily Mirror Novice Hurdle, whilst Colreevy won the Racing Post App Champion INH Flat race.
