The coveted Gain Mares’ Final occupied centre stage at yesterday’s well-attended Ballynoe point-to-point fixture, staged under the auspices of the United Hunt at Garryane, Killavorilla and Kilclare.

The Dick Lalor-trained Carrigeen Acebo cemented her position as undoubtedly the best point-to-point mare around at present by recording a tenacious success in the open lightweight at yesterday’s well-attended Premier Harriers meeting at Horse And Jockey.
