Naas — Results from Sunday 17 May 2026
Quick summary
Yesterday at Naas (going: GOOD – Good to firm in places) produced a mixture of shocks and authoritative performances. Longshots stole the headlines in the juvenile and maiden events: Totally Puzzled (50/1) powered away to land the Twydil/Clovelly Irish EBF Fillies Maiden and Wannabe Royal (33/1) gamely took the Listed Owenstown Stud Stakes. Your Song (25/1) produced a front-running success in the Coolmore Stud Blackbeard Race, while established class held up in the pattern races — Victorious (10/11) justified favouritism in the Group 3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint Stakes. Havana Anna (9/4) also took the Goffs Lacken Stakes with a determined finish. Notable connections on the card included Ryan Moore, who rode a double (Victorious and Mission Central), and Henry De Bromhead, who trained two of the bigger-priced winners (Totally Puzzled and Wannabe Royal).
Raceday notes: a small number of runners were withdrawn or deemed unsuited by the going (Cyclone Code, Carolina Jetstream, Ipanema Queen); East Hampton was reported coughing.

Racecourse Guide
Naas is a left-handed, undulating track of a mile and a half with a stiff uphill climb to the finish. There is a straight six furlongs and a chute on the round course for mile races. The sprint track was levelled a few year’s ago so it is not as undulating as the round course.
The chase course is on the outside of the hurdles track with eight fences to a circuit. The fences are quite testing and Naas certainly puts the emphasis on stamina in soft or heavy ground. This is a popular course which consistently attracts high quality horses. Champions to grace the turf over jumps here include Arkle, Imperial Call and Doran’s Pride.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
There are a variety of hospitality packages to suit all requirements and budgets at Naas. The Panoramic Restaurant caters for a table for two up to large group bookings. It is sited on the first floor of the Grandstand overlooking the racing action. Your booking includes a three course meal with speciality coffee and tea and a dedicated waiter service.
Naas also offer private suites which provide comfort and luxury to make the most of your day at the races. The suites are on the second floor of the Grandstand and can cater for groups of 10 up to 80 guests. All private suites have a balcony view overlooking the racecourse.
There are regular trains from Dublin (Heuston) to Sallins Station which is just outside Naas. The Racecourse provides a shuttle bus on all weekend race days to and from Sallins Train Station.
Tickets
You can book your Naas general admission tickets online with a generous 6 euro discount for seniors and students. There is also a Golden Ticket which includes a 5 euro bet, 5 euro drinks voucher and 10 euro food voucher.
The Effect of the Draw
A low draw is slightly favoured at Naas in races on the round track between seven furlongs and ten furlongs. The draw is only really a factor on the straight six furlong track in soft ground when high numbers have an advantage with runners seeking the better ground under the stands’ side rail.
