Great Day’s Racing Route Hunt Point to Point in Limivady

With good weather, good ground conditions and a total of 59 runners  The Route Hunt Point To Point Races at Carrowclare Road, Myroe, Limavady on Saturday 5^th October were ideal for a great day of racing. A reasonable crowd had turned out and racing started promptly at 1pm. In total there were 6 races. The  first race of the day  was won by The Grey Taylor who  led the way for most of the race. The second race was won by Jenny Make A Penny with Tousupreme only a neck behind and in the 3^rd race only a head separated the winner Chosen Dream and River Clare. The last race of the day had only 5 runners and it was Mothers Tree who ran in 4^th place for most of the race and then made a great sprint to the finish to win. Although there had been a few fallers, and some horses were pulled up before the end of their races, there was  a good days  racing  without any casualities.

The Route Hunt thank all those who attended the races, the race sponsors and those hunt members and friends who helped make the day possible as well as all the landowners who give the Hunt the use of their land.
