Today's Naas Tips, Racecards And Results
Naas results — 11 October 2026
Soft ground dominated the card at Naas on 11 October. Joseph Patrick O’Brien enjoyed a productive afternoon, saddling several winners including Formous in the opening Fillies’ Maiden, Princess Child in the Listed Garnet Stakes and the 25/1 shock Snapretend in the Listed Bluebell Stakes. A P O’Brien’s Bengal Tiger made all in the (C & G) Maiden, winning comfortably at odds of 2/9, while Diamonds And Dames landed the Auction Series Final and Abbotsford took the premier handicap. The ground saw a number of non-runners and withdrawals (including horses declared unsuitable or reported with health issues), which had a bearing on a few contests.

Notes
Non-runners and withdrawals on account of unsuitable ground or health were a feature of the meeting: Seven Nation Army, Camino Vino and Mawhibah were withdrawn as unsuited by the going; Nakota River was reported coughing and Glowing Account had a temperature-related withdrawal. Soft going influenced tactics and helped those able to handle cut underfoot.

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 years 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 120 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 and save with an early bird ticket. As of 2026, early bird admission costs 15 euro, rising to 20 euro from midnight the night before racing and on the gate. Under-16s go free when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
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.
