Managers’ Welcome On behalf of all the team and the Board of Directors here at Naas Racecourse, we are delighted to welcome you all to our rescheduled feature jumps day of the year, the Ballymore Grade 1 Novice Hurdle Day. After falling to frost and ice last Sunday, we are thrilled to host today’s card. It is always disappointing to lose a raceday, so a big thank you goes to the team on the track and in the office who have turned everything around so quickly to get us racing today, and we are hugely grateful to our loyal sponsors who have backed us again today.

Aidan McGarry Racecourse Manager

Eddie Moran Owner Liaison

We are thrilled to welcome Ballymore as the title sponsor of the day, including the day’s feature, the €100,000 Grade 1 Ballymore Novice Hurdle. Founded in Kildare in 1982 by Chairman and Group Chief Executive Sean Mulryan, together with his wife Bernardine Mulryan, Ballymore has developed into an international brand but has maintained a strong commitment to Irish sport, grassroots organisations, and community development. We are set for another quality renewal of this Grade 1 contest, when year in and year out, it produces novices that go on and challenge for the top honours at the major spring festivals at Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown. We are delighted to welcome EASYFIX Equine to the sponsorship fold at Naas. You will know their work as EASYFIX has completed our parade ring and trot up area, and most recently supplied our brand new EASYFIX Equine hurdles. Their focus on quality, safety and innovation aligns perfectly with our own values, and we are delighted to continue working together on one of the biggest days of our season. It is great to welcome back Race and Stay, Ireland’s premier horse racing tour company in Ireland. If you want to have someone else plan everything for you, then their Naas packages include everything for a seamless racing experience. They also offer a wide range of extras, from racecourse hospitality to stable and stud tours, golf and more. Martyn Pipe and his team are a pleasure to work with, making your racing break unforgettable. The bumper is once again generously sponsored by the team behind Fifty Stars, who is standing a short distance away from the racecourse at Sunnyhill Stud. We are delighted that Jack Cantillon is advertising his exciting son of Sea The Stars, a Group 1 winner, on the racecourse. You will be able to call into Sunnyhill Stud later this month on 16-17 January for the ITM Stallion Trail if you’d like to catch a glimpse of him. As usual, our wonderful caterers, Lily & Wild, will be operating all the bars, restaurants and café throughout the day. Finally, it just leaves me to wish you all well today. Best of luck to all our racegoers, but also to all today’s participants, including the trainers, owners, jockeys and stable staff, who, without their support, the racecourse would not be able to put on a quality racecard like today. From everyone here at Naas Racecourse, Happy New Year and if you have any feedback on your day, make sure to drop me an email at amcgarry@ naasracecourse.com

RACE 1 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT

The Racing Post Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

A competitive affair with several possible winners. BARLEY LANE was well clear of the remainder when runner-up on hurdling debut in November, and he gets the tentative vote to get off the mark. Newbrook Diamond made an odds-on shot work for it around here on rules debut, and will be suited to returning this way around after hanging left at Punchestown on his latest run. The form of Time Is A Thief’s point runner-up finish has been franked, and he ran well for a long way at Cork before weakening quickly. Shadys Lady and Future Prospect complete the shortlist.

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. The Association of Irish Racecourse Veterinary Surgeons (AIRCVS)

RACE 3 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT A race with a proud roll of honour and won last year by The Yellow Clay. Paul Townend rides the completely unexposed Saint Baco whose maiden win was franked at Leopardstown, but his stablemate SORTUDO is interesting. He just got better and better in bumpers and the form of his maiden success was also boosted over Christmas. There are others in here with the potential to enhance their reputations in an intriguing race. [Alistair Jones]

RACE VERDICT

The Racing Post Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

The market will be decisive, with six of the nine making their debuts. Blue Bresil gelding HARTFORD is appealing on paper and is given the token preference with the Gordon Elliott team in such good form. Quiryn is an obvious danger given connections. The Emmet Mullins pair of The Rock Factor, and Justify filly Jerpoint Abbey are interesting. Previous academy hurdle debutants Coole Cafe and Apache Peak are also in the mix, with the former a surprise winner at Navan. [Denis Harney] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT If a heavy fall in July hasn’t left mental scars, then the top-rated over hurdles, GAOTH CHUIL, should get her deserved chasing success. Karamoja is the pick of Mullins’ three, with Townend remaining loyal despite her sixthplaced finish on chasing debut last time. Neon Diamond has something to find on ratings for her chasing debut, but all runners from the Elliott yard deserve a second look, given the yard’s wonderful form at the moment. [Denis Harney]

RACE 7 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT Dual hurdles winner MCLAUREY has run well in his opening chase runs, and the choice of Mark Walsh is selected to get off the mark over fences here on handicap chase debut. Last time winners Battle Of Ridgeway and Moudan look like the main dangers. Golden Joy could get involved if cutting out the mistakes which have blighted his last two runs, and his stable is flying.
