TRACK GUIDE
Having staged their annual point-to-point at The Pigeons for over 40 years since 1978, the South Westmeath Hunt move to a brand new track in October 2020 at Umma House.
Situated less than 15km`s south-west of their former long-standing course, the new track is a good galloping track with two long straights.
It is a mile round and will be a nice, fair test for a young horse with a very slight incline to the finish line.
There will be two fences in the home straight with the third past the winning post and the other two fences located in the back straight. It is an all grass left handed track.
ROB JAMES
Umma House is a nice galloping track with lovely sweeping bends, both turning into the back straight and coming into the home straight.
There is a long back straight, then you go down into a bit of a dip before turning for home.
There is a bit of a hill up the home straight, but it levels off before the line.
It is fairly straightforward to ride and a fair track where you would expect the best horse to win. It is certainly been a lucky one for me.
