Next Sunday’s point-to-point races at Ballydarragh, Craanford, will start at 10.30 am – an hour and a half earlier than the advertised time.

This situation comes about because of a record entry – 221 entries for 6 races – at the popular North Wexford track.

The meeting run  under the auspices of The Island Hunt will have extended value for racegoers with many ‘divides’ in the pipeline.

It is the final point-to-point in the south-east this year.
