Congratulations to Margaret Barrett (Flanagan) who is not only joint breeder of our 2020 whelp Boylesports Derby winner Annual Fergie but is also the winner of our online Clonmel Tipster competition.

Margaret (pictured right) naturally selected ‘Fergie’ but she also selected Tactical to win the 2020 whelp Horse & Jockey Hotel Oaks. This 33/1 ante post runner only just failed to win her maximum points but her final total of 35 points is enough to win her the prize.

Margaret and three friends will now enjoy a night out at Shelbourne Park on Saturday 18th June for the final of the Sporting Press Irish Oaks including admission, race programme, four course dinner and a bottle of Prosecco.

Annual Fergie was a popular choice and two selected Oaks heroine Rushview Raven (Vincent Fahy, Glanworth and Eamonn Kiely, Cork). However no one selected the winner or runner-up in either the Derby or Oaks for 2019 whelps so one suspects it was a great National Meeting for the bookmakers !!!

An historic four day National Coursing Meeting came to a brilliant conclusion at Powerstown Park, Clonmel today in front of a huge crowd. The winner’s trophies are on their way to Kilkenny, Cork, Galway, Kerry, Laois and Cahir, Co Tipperary this evening but there should be a trophy too for every member of Team Powerstown who produced fantastic hares over the four days. We must remember also our stake sponsors John Boyle (Boylesports), Tom Egan (Horse & Jockey Hotel) and everyone who supported the Classics Club draw.

It has been a hectic few weeks so we will let you all purchase the Examiner tomorrow and the Sporting Press on Thursday for a full report. However it would be remiss of us not to mention the ‘Clonmel 2022 Champions’.      

Boylesports Derby – ANNUAL FERGIE (Mafi Magic – Amelies Milly)

Born in Powerstown Park from a litter bred by racecourse resident Fergus Flynn & his great friend Margaret Flanagan (Barrett). Now a Derby winner for the popular Wilson brothers from Kilkenny,   John and Donal and trainer Kevin Barry. Connections were thrilled when he won Corn Na Feile but today is a dream come true for the ‘Annual’ boys. Qualified at Edenderry and coincidentally that is where 2019 Derby winner ‘Rumour Has It’ trained by Kevin qualified also.   

Boylesports Derby 20 21 – ON MY TERMS (Adios Alonso – Handsoffshesmine)

What a day for Kevin Marmion. He bred, owned & trained On My Terms to win the Derby, it represented Loughrea so his own club receives the €1,000 Club Award and for good measure he had the winning ticket in the Classics Club draw on the 2020 whelp Derby. It doesn’t come much better than that and it was great to see his dad Lexie on the podium to accept the trophy.

Horse & Jockey Hotel Oaks – RUSHVIEW RAVEN (Blades Of Hope – Blazing Kathy)  

Ten years to the day that he ran-up the Oaks with Emmas Goldrush, Paul Willis of Mallow made it into the winner’s enclosure with his Borrisoleigh qualifier which he also trains himself. Very appropriate that she should represent that club because she first saw light of day in North Tipperary, bred by Darren Lee (Roscrea) and Ger Maher (Puckane). We had six great finals today but this one was epic with Raven just holding Tactical by the narrowest of margins.  

Horse & Jockey Hotel Oaks 20 21 – BALLYMAC FLORAL (Newinn Wonder – Ballymac Town)

Ballymac Town has produced another Oaks heroine for Liam Dowling and family. Three years ago it was Enya, this time her half sister Floral representing Castleisland. The Dowling family have had amazing success on the track but it was great to see how much they enjoyed this victory and were present in large numbers including a few new additions to the family.

Kevin Smith Champion Stakes – TREE TOP DANNO (Newinn Wonder – Tanyard Rena)

A local success for David Lonergan from Cahir and his parents Bill and Breda. A second success at the 96^th National Meeting for trainer Kevin Barry. And many congratulations to breeder Dan O’Donoghue, Millstreet. Came in as reserve but was immediately installed as favourite and a worthy one at that. Huge compensation for having to withdraw Tree Top Henry from the Derby yesterday.

Grace & Matt Bruton Champion Bitch Stakes – SHES INVINCIBLE (Adios Alonso – Woodpark Fever)

A brave decision to bypass the Oaks (2019 whelps) and opt for the Champion Bitch Stakes instead paid dividends today for owners Ray Conroy & Ollie Dunne of Portlaoise. She truly was invincible and a credit to handler Matt Harte. This lady was bred in Ennis by Bernard Quinn whose family won the very same stake in 2008 with Woodpark Rebel, grandmother of today’s champion.             

Congratulations also to Paul Horig (The Bahamas), Pat & Breda Cunningham (Castlemartyr), Joan Herbert & family (Kilflynn) and the man in dreamland Kevin Marmion (Loughrea) on winning €10,000 each in the Classics Club Draws.        

Our sincere sympathy to Cork Coursing Club (Blarney) on the passing of their esteemed Vice President and former Chairman, Denis Bernard. Our thoughts also with his son John, daughters Catherine & Ellen and extended family members. May he Rest in Peace.

The dream of every coursing man and woman to reach the third day at Clonmel switches to the fourth day for 2022. However if anything it makes it even more special and there were tears in the eyes of many an owner this afternoon at Powerstown Park when it all became real. Sadly there were tears too for the Going Grand Syndicate from New Inn & Donegal when Full Redress incurred an injury after winning his third round course of the Boylesports Derby impressively. However otherwise it really was an excellent day of coursing and a credit to Team Powerstown. It augurs well for the final day tomorrow (Monday) when six coursing champions will be crowned.        

BOYLESPORTS DERBY (2020 whelps)

The John & Donal Wilson owned Corn Na Feile winner Annual Fergie continues to impress and now meets his kennelmate Terminator running for the 2021 Track Derby/Oaks winning Comerford family. Connections of Black As Gold (Harry McGuinness/Teresa Reilly) and Badminton Wonder (David McGrath) both had to withdraw other qualifiers before the draw but are getting ample compensation with the performance of these dogs. (Badminton Wonder being a litter brother to Terminator). Mitchelstown’s Michael Horgan, joint sponsor of the Club Awards at the National Meeting, shrewdly purchased Two Bears after it had won the Working Members at Thurles in November and now has a Derby semi-finalist on his hands (receives a bye tomorrow morning). Noel Sheehan and his son Stephen give the rebel county a second chance of Derby success with Echo Bill and of course he qualified at that excellent meeting in Blarney over Christmas. He meets Killucan Pat, running for the Carrs and Healys and attempting to give them more Clonmel success, five years after their memorable Champion Stakes double. 

BOYLESPORTS DERBY (2021 whelps)

Glenhouse Wonder qualified at Charleville at one of the last meetings before the 20/21 season shut down due to the pandemic but the long wait has been worth it for Timmy Collins & past ICC President, Gerry Meehan. His quarter-final opponent Kyle Karl was probably the least fancied runner that Marie Field brought to Clonmel this year but he is enjoying his role of ‘last man standing’. Off To Chicago already added an All Age Cup at Lixnaw to his Listowel trial stake win and is giving Donal O’Connell another super run. On My Terms owned by ICC Executive member Kevin Marmion is leaving things very late in all his courses but is representing Kevin’s club Loughrea with great credit. Leo Walsh and his daughter Katie (Secretary Balbriggan CC) will be thrilled this evening to have their ‘Spital’ prefix in Derby contention and Spital Ted now meets Granard Wonder belonging to another great coursing family, the O’Flahertys of Liscarroll near Mallow. The last quarter-final will be contested by two other very well-known coursing prefixes, with Wallace Best representing the one and only Brendan Matthews of Newry and Carrowkeal Shane running for Kathleen, Brian & Jackie Murphy (another one for Mallow). Shane caused one of the big upsets of Day 3 when eliminating the favourite this afternoon.  

HORSE & JOCKEY OAKS (2020 whelps).

This season Paul Reid was joined in his Tory prefix by Paul Horig and it is proving to be a winning combination so far with Tory Elite. Her opponent tomorrow morning is Knockout Sky whose dam won an Oaks for the McAuliffe family of Athea (Bill, Rose & son Liam) in 2017. There will be plenty of singing if the Jimmy Buckley led ‘Shtick At It Syndicate’ is successful tomorrow afternoon with Montpelier Lolly but first she has to get the better of the Tactical, jointly owned by Damian & Dayna O’Shea and trained by a man who made all the decisions at Clonmel for many many years, Tom Lawler. Pheobes Pride is another daughter of a bitch which tasted success up Powerstown (Blades Of Honour) and is giving Sean Herlihy and young Tiernan Horgan a weekend to remember. She meets a bitch which represents the ‘Blades’ line on the sire side, Rushview Raven. This lady got everyone’s attention with her blistering early in the first round and owner Paul Willis will be hoping to go one better than 10 years ago when he ran-up the Oaks. Coursing bitch of the year 2019, Silent Wonder, is responsible for our next quarter-finalist Chance To Shine which runs in the ownership of the Three Lucky Ms Syndicate led by her trainer Mossie O’Connor and she now comes up against the ante-post favourite Kilty Coco. The latter is owned by Agnes & Una Mai Hallissey and how they would love to be going to slips for the final tomorrow afternoon as their fellow Clonakilty club man Jimmy O’Regan is singing the National Anthem.

HORSE & JOCKEY OAKS (2019 whelps).

Two weeks is a long time in coursing because two weeks ago the connections of Murhur Lady (Work The Mobile Syndicate) and Masonbrook Ivy (Jennie Griffin and her dad Tom, retired ICC Control Steward) did not even expect to be running at Clonmel. However they both came in when we needed to draw from runners-up to fill vacancies and the rest as they say is history. Vying to make history by winning two Oaks at the same National Meeting are the McAuliffe family and Knockout Model is showing all the right attributes. Her next opponent is Ballybeg Honey, a litter sister to Granard Wonder and running for Janette Buckley of Buttevant (Cork very well represented on Day 4). Martin McDaid of Derry came to Clonmel six years ago with high hopes of Oaks success with Moat Matilda but it is her daughter Positive Note that might bring him that Classic success. Standing in her way tomorrow is the Wexford representative Maisy Daisy which would be a popular winner for the Grannell, Fitzpatrick & Dempsey families. Some of the loudest cheers at Powerstown Park today were reserved for the locally owned Village Robin which won the last qualifier of the season at Sevenhouses for Tommy O’Gorman, Lar Walsh & Co. Let’s hope they mind their voices for when she meets Ballymac Floral from the powerful Liam Dowling kennels, a half-sister of his 2019 Oaks heroine Enya.                                                                                

Coursing starts on Day 4 (Monday) at 11.00am with the first round of the Grace & Matt Bruton Champion Bitch Stakes.

On a sad note tonight we sympathise with Thurles Coursing Club and the Ryan family, Beakstown, Holycross on the death of Johnny Ryan. Not only was Johnny the President of Thurles CC but he and his family provided the Club with their coursing field which is developed into a top class venue. Funeral arrangements to follow. May he Rest in Peace.             

History was made at Powerstown Park today when a second Derby and a second Oaks got underway. These ones were for 2019 whelps which missed out when last year’s National Meeting was cancelled due to the Covid 19 lockdown. Approximately 40 of the runners between both Classics had booked their ticket over 12 months ago so for connections of those runners it was a long wait to get to Clonmel but all appreciated the decision of the ICC Executive to accommodate them.   

It was a much better day than yesterday for the Field family who saw both their runners Kyle Karl & Kyle Raimund qualify impressively for the second round of the Boylesports Derby 20 21. (Although unfortunately we understand Raimund will not be able to take his place in the second round tomorrow). Brendan Matthews had his two ‘Wallace’ dogs progress and East Donegal’s Dessie Tighe will be delighted with his three flags (two in Oaks and one in Derby). The locals too had plenty to cheer about with Village Robin (Oaks) and Tree Top Henry, Blueway Wonder & Dionysus (Derby) all coming back tomorrow. However it will be a long road home to Listowel for the ‘Jet Lads Syndicate’ who came with two live chances of outright glory in the Derby with their ‘Bedford’ dogs only to succumb to runners from the Owen McKenna kennels in quick succession, Foxhunter and Catunda Niall.

Without doubt the eye catcher in the Horse & Jockey Hotel Oaks 20 21 was Aldanite and she is a worthy favourite after two rounds. Her second round clock was the fastest clock at Clonmel today.  She won’t have her own way against Ballymac Floral but should progress, with Positive Note looking like her biggest danger in the bottom half of the draw. The top half is more difficult to call because there were plenty of thrills n spills for the likes of Barrack Luna, Knockout Model and Rathduff Reba. Matt Harte certainly will have a big say with his runners Masonbrook Ivy & Knockderk Maid and Finn Heather for the aforementioned Dessie Tighe is not out of it either.    

The second best clock today was recorded by Go Home Ourthat but he had to pull out all the stops to hold off the fast finishing Noted Rambler. Hot Dog was also involved in a tight buckle with Barrack Archie and Tree Top Henry took a tumble after he ran well to oust his kennelmate Brave. Unlike the Oaks it is almost impossible at this stage to predict the eight that will make it through to the last day, never alone the winner. However when the action continues tomorrow Sunday it will commence with this Boylesports Derby for 2019 whelps and the picture will become a little clearer hopefully.

Coursing starts on Day 3 (Sunday) at 11.00am and we can confirm that Island Rhythm will also be absent from the Horse & Jockey Hotel Oaks for 2020 whelps.

Our photo by Imelda Grauer includes Fergal Hehir, Niall Heaney, Rory Henchy, Brian Hannon, Brian Culligan, Pat Hogan, Michael Daffy, P Ward and Paul Clune all from Co Clare and enjoying today’s coursing.             

In many ways it was a typical first day at the National Meeting, some fancy runs, a few surprises and a couple of hard luck stories (but not too many). Then in other ways it was different with two runs in the Oaks and 80 runners gone home after Day 1 having no consolation events to soften the blow of bowing out early.

It was a good day for Paul Horig who raised five flags (Tory Elite, Island Rhythm & Berlin Station) and the Collins family (Skibbereen), the Carr family (Killucan) and the Ryco Syndicate (Portlaoise) who raised three flags each.   

In the Horse & Jockey Oaks for 2020 whelps it was announced before coursing that the fancied Excelerate would be absent. And in the eagerly awaited buckle of the litter sisters No Luck Penny and Touch Of Rosie the hare unfortunately moved offline to create an unsatisfactory finish. In fairness to No Luck Penny she may still have won anyhow and she did win her second round in style. Other than that things went more or less to form. The other eye catchers were Rushview Raven, Knockout Sky and Tactical in both rounds and Gortmelia Sophie in the second round. Sophie now meets Kilty Coco which is still very much fancied for outright honours but has a battle on her hands Sunday afternoon.

The first round of the BoyleSports Derby provided us with the fancy clocks but also the biggest upsets. Best run of the day came from Annual Fergie 12.45 but he did get a few extra turns. The second and third fastest clocks also came in the first quarter, with Berlin Station recording 12.57 and Terminator (kennelmate of Annual Fergie and litter brother to No Luck Penny) striding out well in 12.59. The upsets came in the shape of Kyle Honour, Kyle Finale, Hermes and Annual Draiocht which were all in the top ten of the betting market before coursing but won’t be returning on Sunday. Betting after the first round suggests that Badminton Wonder, Black as Gold, Full Redress and Blades Of Style are others that made an impression with the layers on the opening day of the 96^th National Meeting.     

The action continues tomorrow Saturday with the 2019 whelps getting their chance to shine.
