Racing personality to launch new Mid-Antrim race event

This race, on September 25, will be known as the Mid-Antrim Steeplechase and will be 3.5 miles long. Carryduff Auctions are generously sponsoring this race and it is already attracting a lot of interest. There will also be a trophy for the winner of this race.

The County Monaghan native has enjoyed a remarkable career as a trainer and is also well known for his charity work.

The Mid-Antrim Hunt are very honoured that Oliver Brady is supporting their point-to-point which is the first one of the Autumn point-to-point season and held in the glorious setting of the Higgins Estate at Moneyglass near Toomebridge.

The organisers are expecting good ground and perfect racing conditions.

Registrar George Byrne has in his possession two highly complimentary reports from the INHS and the Turf Club relating to last May’s point-to-point. These commended the great effort and commitment of the organisers which ensured that the track was watered regularly to ensure good safe jumping ground while fences, wings and spurs were presented in a very professional manner.

The Mid-Antrim Hunt is extremely grateful to all their sponsors and expect a very exciting day’s racing on September 25 to kick off the Autumn season.
