THE Ward Union Staghounds’ annual point-to-point took place at The Folly on Saturday afternoon, by kind permission of the Duffy family. A large, galloping track with a separate finishing chute, Oldtown is described by many as ‘one of the best point-to-point courses in the country’ and Denis Murphy echoed that sentiment, as he recorded a double on the day.

The Ballyboy Stables team struck first in the two and a half-mile four-year-old maiden with Jet Of Stars (3/1 – 4/1) their third winner in the category from as many runners this month.
