Managers’ Welcome

Good afternoon everybody, and welcome to our first flat meeting at Naas Racecourse in 2026. With another great jumps season behind us, the racing year keeps moving on and we look ahead today to an exciting flat season with a summer of top-class racing. Today’s racecard brings together some exciting prospects as well as some competitive races with an eight-race card featuring the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Devoy Stakes.

Eddie Moran Owner Liaison

Manager

We kick off the season with a lovely renewal of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Devoy Stakes, and we continue to be so appreciative of the Irish EBF for their ongoing support and dedication to Irish Racing. Today’s Sunchart goes for a remarkable hattrick of successes and Andy Slattery’s consistent campaigner is sure to give his all.

We are thrilled to welcome Compas Stallions back as sponsors of two of today’s races and thank Micheál Orlandi and Síle Hayes for their ongoing support of Naas Racecourse. In their sixth year of sponsorship, Compas Stallions will once again be rewarding the winning breeder of each of his two sponsored races today with a free nomination, to the named stallions of the race. We wish Micheál and Síle all the best today and hope all their guests enjoy their day.

Another returning sponsor today is DAR Golf Construction. Not only are they a great sponsor, they are equally great to partner with on many of the ongoing track upgrades Naas Racecourse undertakes year in year out. A quality and professional team, and we’re thrilled to have them with us today as sponsors.

Already a long-standing sponsor of the €100,000 Colm White Bookmaker Beggar’s End Handicap at the end of the season, Colm White Bookmakers have expanded their sponsorship to lend their name to four additional handicaps on some of the racecourse’s most popular fixtures including today’s flat season opener. Colm is a well-known presence in the Irish betting ring, and a huge thank you to him for his ongoing support.

A warm welcome back also goes to the team at TRM Equine Nutrition for the first of their six sponsored races this season. These six races, along with the BTO League, which offers well-deserved recognition to the grooms who work tirelessly to present the horses so well, highlights TRM’s support of the industry and we look forward to working with their fantastic team throughout the flat season.

Westin Homes are sponsoring our opening race as part of the fundraising efforts towards Kildare LGFA, who held a successful inaugural fundraiser here at Naas on our jumps finale. We are delighted to welcome Austin and Justin Dunne along with their team. The Irish Racing Writers Association Madrid Handicap is a fantastic premier handicap to kick off the flat season at Naas. We are hugely appreciative of the support and coverage so many of the racing journalists give to Naas Racecourse throughout the year. This handicap can often produce a quality with classic winners Paddington and Awtaad in just the last 10 years.

A thank you to all today’s racegoers for their ongoing support, and we hope you have an enjoyable day. As ever, should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to speak to one of the team in the Raceday Office, or you can always email me at the address below. We always want to hear ways to improve the raceday experience, and all feedback is taken on board. Our caterers, Lily & Wild, are busy throughout the racecourse in our two main restaurants, the Panoramic Restaurant and The Post Self Service Restaurant while racegoers can also enjoy The Café situated on the ground floor of the Grandstand, as well as the public bar on the ground floor of The Circle. There is a free Crèche available on-site, located behind the Grandstand to the left at your entry point.

Our next meeting is our Punchestown Preview Evening on Monday 27th April, with the feature race being the Anglesey Lodge Equine Hospital Woodlands Stakes and we hope to see you then.

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.

A Naas native, Peter has helped and guided many a person here on the Racecourse over the years and his experience and help has been invaluable in that time.

We might not see him on the track again, but we hope to see him here at future Racedays.

Thank You Peter, from all the Staff (old and new) here at Naas Racecourse.

RACE VERDICT

Too keen when fourth over 1m at Cork on his final start last term, EICHAN SAN is tipped in the belief that this trip will suit better. Tai Tam Bay and Mickey The Steel were placed at the Curragh last Sunday and should be in the mix again, providing the ground remains close to heavy. Noble Nation, who got a big hike in the ratings for a comfortable win in this race last year, is back on a competitive mark now. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

Eight of these have run at Dundalk in 2026, acquiring a possible fitness edge. Subiaco is the most appealing of that group on form but has never run on ground worse than yielding. In contrast, top weight BAY OF SUPREMACY was a C&D nursery winner on heavy last season and may prevail with the help of his rider's 7lb claim. Shadow Run may improve in first-time blinkers on handicap debut. Simmering Seas did not get the run of the race on her nursery start. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

However, preference is given to SINDAGAN who took third over C&D on debut and again ran well when fourth next time. He has been gelded in the meantime, and may make his track experience count.

RACE VERDICT

A second placing at Galway last October boosts the case for SAN AER since the winner captured last Sunday's Irish Lincoln. Thru And Thru showed winning potential last season and is suited by soft ground. Game Point was frustrating for Ger Lyons, but Colin Keane renews his link here for the gelding's stable debut.

RACE VERDICT

Aidan O'Brien spoke positively about CAUSEWAY on a recent press day, and the easy Curragh maiden winner may progress enough to take this. Breaking Dawn was a Curragh maiden winner himself just a week ago, and he ticks a lot of boxes if this doesn't come too soon. Cotai Lights is an interesting English raider making his turf debut following good AW runs, while fellow AW performer Son Of Beauty is open to any amount of progression on just his third start.

RACE VERDICT

Winner of the two most recent editions of this race, Sunchart will have conditions to suit again and should not be lightly dismissed. However, preference is for two mares who bring strong credentials from the closing stages of last season. BESET has won further than this and may employ superior stamina to hold off a likely challenge from Shaol who comes out best on RPR figures. With racefitness on his side, Ribee could outrun his official rating to pose a serious threat.

Selection White Sand Beach

RACE VERDICT

Aidan O'Brien has won four of the past six runnings of this and gave a good mention for Dubawi filly DROP DEAD GORGEOUS on a recent press tour. The Irish 1,000 Guineas/Irish Oaks entrant is the stable first string and may be capable of defeating those with experience. Heading that list is the selection's stablemate White Sand Beach who is top rated on 85 following a trio of placed starts. Sanctijude is another of interest.
