KILMESSAN dairy farmer Peter Reynolds completed a very long range double at the Ward Union Hunt point-to-point in Oldtown last Sunday when winning the members and subscribers race over one circuit of the track on The New Blackie.

In 2015, Peter partnered the same horse, then just a four-year-old, to land the Liz Jenkinson Memorial Charity Race at Bellewstown. Bypassing that flat race last August, the Co Meath owner/rider decided to concentrate on Sunday’s contest and he duly got the desired result as he and the odds-on favourite won by three lengths and two from John Bobbett on his 15-year-old Porsch gelding Fleenstown Finn and Cathy O’Leary riding Finbarr.
