On behalf of the board and team here at Naas Racecourse, you are very welcome to the final of our Summer Season Days featuring the Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes (Listed) and the ARQANA Irish EBF Marwell Stakes (Listed).

Next race meeting
Monday 5th August, 2024
At every meeting there are specially qualified equine veterinary surgeons on duty to look after the well-being of all the horses racing. There is a vet in attendance at the start of each race who follows the horses throughout the race and is quickly on hand if a casualty occurs. It is normal procedure to erect screens around any horse receiving veterinary treatment. This allows the veterinary surgeon some privacy to fully assess the horses’ injuries and racegoers should not assume the worst if screens are erected around an injured horse. The Blue Cross ambulance is always present to transport the horse back to the stable yard for further treatment if necessary. A secondary veterinary surgeon is in attendance in the stable yard to assess and treat any horse requiring such attention post race. The horses’ welfare is always our priority

RACE VERDICT
Little form to go on but DISTANT SEAS sets a decent enough standard on his debut Curragh second, even though the form has taken a couple of knocks recently. Ballydoyle’s representative Antelope Canyon has to be respected, as does the Ger Lyonstrained debutant Magnum Force, while recent Dundalk Barrier trial winners Town And Country and Romantic War have to be considered too.

RACE VERDICT
An interesting race and most of them have some sort of chance. Merrily is likely to be thereabouts although Say Yes To Dreams looks likely to finish close to her after their last clash here. Proudly Yours and Shamrock Breeze have prospects of getting into the shake-up, while Skillman Ave is another with scope for real improvement. The standard is set though by MISS LAMA I (nap) on her Queen Mary fourth and she can continue trainer Karl Burke’s excellent season in Ireland. [Justin O’Hanlon]

RACE VERDICT
Very competitive but perhaps AMAZON LADY can complete the hat-trick stepping back up to stakes company from what looks a good draw. Pearls And Rubies would be a huge player if able to repoduce her Cheveley Park form of last year but the signs this year haven’t been good. The main threats could well come from the British challengers Nighteyes and Pinafore, the former with trip/ground to suit. [Alan Hewison]

RACE VERDICT
Although coming with an obvious caveat due to his slow-starting tendency it could be worth taking a chance on STOP ON RED following a narrow miss at Dundalk recently. Glencullen rates a big danger on his recent comeback effort, while others with claims include Lisabetta and Daonethatgotaway. [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post
The Centenary of Naas Racecourse, Nursery Of Champions
This summer Naas Racecourse will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its first fixture, which took place on June 19, 1924.
To mark this momentous occasion, writer, historian and podcaster Turtle Bunbury has produced a fittingly celebratory volume, The Centenary of Naas Racecourse, with the subtitle Nursery Of Champions.
With individual chapters devoted to each decade, and lavishly illustrated by a superb range of historic and contemporary photographs, this splendid large-format work conveys the rich history of the venue in an entertaining and instructive manner.
Bunbury is a prolific researcher and has unearthed a wealth of archival material dealing with the origins of the racecourse and the personalities and horses associated with it.
The text is laid out in a reader-friendly way, comprising chunks of fascinating detail about individual horses, people and races. Some are bite-sized, others more extensive, but uniformly digestible. It’s a format that allows the reader to dip in and out of the book, skipping from one decade to another, always assured of finding an interesting anecdote or nugget of information.
In that respect, the book goes far beyond its brief as a history of a single racecourse. One of the author’s strengths is a reservoir of knowledge of well-known Irish families and public figures, enabling him to provide expansive detail about prominent owners or leading riders and trainers.
The book describes the contribution of local families who have been involved through the 100 years of the track’s existence and embraces the twin themes of continuity and progress in charting a story from modest origins to the vibrant and ambitious racecourse of today.
Almost every significant Irish racing personality of the past 100 years has had a connection with Naas Racecourse. Many great Irish horses have competed there. Bunbury’s words and an array of wonderfully atmospheric photographs do admirable justice to a proud 100-year tradition.

RACE VERDICT
The Bog Bank is an obvious starting point in this grade and comes here in fine form so has to be a major player. However, PERFECT CURVES, beaten 3l by The Bog Bank at Bellewstown, now enjoys a considerable turnaround in the weights and with a talented claimer booked is taken to reverse that form. Ayr second Haalim, along with Kinda Tiny and Cannes Do are others to consider. Queen Mab could go well at a price. [Alan Hewison]
