This weeks offerings from Bidpoint
Impressive choice of Horses on offer through Tattersalls Ireland BIDPOINT
The Bank Holiday weekend saw plenty of action with four meetings taking place on Saturday and Sunday. BIDPOINT continues to offer both quality and choice, with some notable horses producing results worth taking into consideration.
Medal Of Freedom
6yo Gelding by Mahler – Clashwilliam Girl
This is a very well bred sort who is a half brother to Invictus and was a fair second on Saturday at Lisronagh. He had previously shown decent placed form at Ballinaboola and looks set to score very soon.
Roevin Star
6yo Gelding by Vinnie Roe - Morereason
Improving sort who has been in the first four on his last four runs. His last two runs have seen him a decent third not beaten far including at Lisronagh on Saturday. Often novice ridden he looks a Maiden winner in waiting.
Clondaw Frisby
7yo Gelding by Flemensfirth – Cecelia’s Charm
A wonderful opportunity to buy a top notch Open horse. He has now won four this season and is in the running to be Champion Point-to-Pointer as he is tied at the top of the pile. His defeat of Valmy Baie is very strong form and this is a decent Open horse for someone.
Lucky Buttons
8yo Mare by Winged Love – Cute N’Shy
A track placed and proven mare who is knocking on the door for Maiden success. From seven Point-to-Point starts she has been second once, third three times and fourth suggesting a win is just around the corner.
Grianan Fidh
10yo Gelding by Portrait Gallery – Mortlestown Girl
This is another opportunity for a decent Open horse. Second in the Lady Riders Open to the useful Old Laxey he looks an ideal candidate for many as he is a dual winner who has been second six times and is a very straight forward sort.
