Managers’ Welcome
On behalf of everyone at Naas Racecourse, I am delighted to welcome you to our Summer Racing, BBQ & Live Music Evening.
Tonight’s feature contest, the Al Shira’aa Irish EBF Jannah Rose Stakes, once again takes centre stage on a quality evening of racing. This prestigious Group 3 event has established itself as one of our highlights of the summer calendar, with last year’s winner, Barnavara, going on to subsequent Group 1 success in France.
Aidan McGarry Racecourse Manager Eddie Moran Owner Liaison
We
A very special welcome goes to the team and guests of Al Shira’aa Racing. Their continued commitment to Irish racing and to Naas Racecourse is greatly appreciated. We extend our sincere thanks to Sheikha Fatima bint Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Manager Kieran Lalor for their generous support of today’s feature race and their ongoing partnership with the racecourse.
Press Room
We are also fortunate to enjoy the support of many valued sponsors and local businesses. We are delighted to welcome back Dooley Insurance Group, sponsors of the Dooley Insurance Group Irish EBF Fillies’ Maiden. Tim and Mary Dooley have long been supporters of racing, sport and community initiatives across the region, and we thank them for their continued involvement with Naas Racecourse.
Our thanks also go to ARKequine, whose high-quality range of veterinary-formulated feeds and supplements continues to support horse owners, breeders and trainers across the industry. We greatly appreciate the ongoing support of Richard Young, Kirsty McCann and the entire ARKequine team. This year they also introduced the new Nursery of Champions Awards at Naas Racecourse, a series recognising outstanding mares, fillies and breeders across both the National Hunt and Flat seasons, we look forward to celebrating some of the stand out performers.
Race And Stay return once again as valued supporters of Naas Racecourse. Martyn Pipe and his team have played a significant role in bringing racing enthusiasts from across Ireland, Britain and beyond to race meetings throughout the season, and we are pleased to welcome them back this evening. For more information, visit www.raceandstay.com.
We are equally pleased to welcome The Fox, Dunlavin, whose support is greatly appreciated. Well known for its warm hospitality and lively entertainment, The Fox has now introduced homely accommodation offerings to add even more to this popular destination. Thanks to Jonne and Laura – we hope they and all their guests today enjoy another great evening and head back to The Fox for their nightcap.
Our sincere thanks also go to Colm White, who is back again this evening to continue his backing of Naas Racecourse. The betting ring is so important at any racetrack and Naas is no different. With bookmakers like Colm adding to the atmosphere and giving punters a great choice and service, make sure to call down and give Colm your business.
Finally, we acknowledge the invaluable support of the Irish EBF and Nessa Joyce. Their contribution to prize-money funding remains a vital element in sustaining and developing Irish racing at every level.
To all owners, trainers, jockeys and stable staff with runners this evening, we wish you the very best of luck and hope you enjoy your time at Naas Racecourse.
As always, our catering partners will be serving a range of food options throughout the evening, while racegoers can also enjoy refreshments in our bars, restaurants and cafés across the racecourse. The BBQ Pavilion is fully sold out today but the public BBQ is available next to the grandstand. Should you require any assistance during your visit, our race day team will be happy to help.
Looking ahead, our next fixture takes place on Saturday, 4th July, with more top racing, great hospitality and BBQ options.
Thank you for joining us and enjoy a fantastic evening at Naas Racecourse.
Aidan McGarry Manager amcgarry@naasracecourse.com
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.

Not that Happy Henry has got the winning thread he has to be respected even off an 8lb higher mark. However, preference is for HOOVES YOUR DADDY, who flashed home at Down Royal two starts ago over this trip but wasn’t as effective over 6f last time. Ballysax Lil’ Mick wasn’t far behind Happy Henry on comeback and is in the mix. Hero Of The Hour and Whatswrongnow can run well. [Tyrone Molloy]

Selection Casheldale Lass
RACE VERDICT
Still lightly-raced for his age, GLENDOWER has run well in defeat the last twice and is a sporting selection to make the breakthrough today. There isn’t much between Amrum and Neon Eyes from their Gowran clash and both can be involved. Elusive Duke, Oust and Anchors Away can go well. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT
Transcript and Pinoroyale are well-bred newcomedrs who have to be respected, more so if either attracts market support. Krasimir and Listentodwindblow are the highest-rated but look vulnerable too, so preference is for Gowran debut eyecatcher SALIBA, who can confirm form with Kalir from that run. [Tyrone Molloy]

RACE VERDICT
The form of the C&D maiden contested by MOONLIT SUN is strong enough to give her a good chance of beating more experienced rivals, such as White Sand Beach, whose credentials are better than implied by recent form figures. The twiceraced trio, Beatific, Elmakaya and Vishaya should be shortlisted. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post
