Track Biography:

The first race meeting to take place at Bellharbour was in 1817, when the Burren races were held at the strand at Munnia, organised by Bindon Scott and Burton Bindon who also acted as stewards.

Nowadays the races in their current format take place on the first Sunday of February. The track is situated between the wild Atlantic and the majestic Burren and this makes the point-to-point in Bellharbour one of the most picturesque meetings in Ireland.

Bellharbour has proved to be an excellent source of young talent in recent years.
Dlauro, now with Joseph O’Brien won his maiden here two years ago and Gordon Elliott’s Ball D’Arc was a winner at Bellharbour in 2015 and has since gone on to perform at the highest level including 3rd in the Grade 1 Ryanair Novice Chase at Punchestown and winner of two Grade 3’s at Naas.
Winner of the Pertemps Network Final at the Cheltenham Festival in 2016, Mall Dini, also won at this meeting in 2015.
Other exciting young talent to come from this meeting include bumper winner and recent novice hurdle winner, Way Back Then and Burren Life, also trained by Gordon Elliott, a recent winner of a Novice Hurdle at Thurles and also placed in both Grade 2 and Grade 3 company over hurdles.

Preview

The winning run of WINGED LEADER came to an end at Turtulla recently, but the reigning champion point-to-pointer again sets the benchmark as he goes in search of what would already be his seventh victory of the current campaign. Lifetime Ambition and La Feline finished first and second in this race 12 months ago, but both horses have not yet his the same heights of last season, whilst Wonderwall, Er Dancer, Ryehill and Run Wild Fred give this a very competitive look.

Preview

MAGIC SADLER finished a very creditable second to the open-placed Milan Forth over a shorter trip in hunter chase company at Clonmel last month, and he looks the likely answer to this for what would be his first win in almost two years. Tinahely winner Iriko Dairy is likely next best ahead of Longhouse Star who put in a career best at Ballycrystal last time.

Preview

DRUMCLIFF BAY was blighted by jumping woes at the start of his career and whilst he has not set the world alight on the track since changing stables, his initial pointing form behind the likes of the now 130-rated chaser Native Speaker reads well in the context of what is required to win this. Cosmic Blizzard was only beaten by a length on his own return to the pointing fields at Boulta last time and is the obvious anger, ahead of the locally trained I Am Rocco who went close at Ballindenisk.
