    • Orla Tynan — 6 rides, 3 wins (50% win rate), 4 places (66.67% place rate), prize money £17,889.74. Exceptional strike-rate at Navan; market support for her mounts is a strong positive.

    Pointers: look for trainers with multiple recent course winners (Barry J Fitzgerald, J A Stack) and jockeys with high strike-rates (Orla Tynan) — they often set the early market tone. For each-way value, Irish Rumour and Makaiah have noteworthy place rates at Navan.

    Racecourse Guide

    Navan Racecourse was established at Proudstown in 1921 and many a great horse has graced the turf at the Grade 1 track. These include Champion Hurdlers Hardy Eustace and Brave Inca and the legendary Champion Chaser Moscow Flyer, twice successful in the Fortria Chase.

    Navan is a left-handed track of a mile and a half with sweeping bends and a stiff uphill climb to the winning line. The home straight is around three and a half furlongs and many horses have faltered in the closing stages so stamina is a key factor under both codes. Many of Ireland’s finest hurdlers and chasers will race here en route to the big festivals in spring.

    The Vintage Crop Stakes is named after Dermot Weld’s 1993 Melbourne Cup winner. It was first run in 2003 and is now established as a trial for the Ascot Gold Cup. Record four times Ascot winner Yeats won this race in 2007 and 2008.

    Dining, Hospitality & Facilities

    Navan offers a wide range of hospitality starting with the Racecourse Café, kitted out with relaxing furnishings and TV screens for those wishing to view the action with the comfort of a hot drink and a snack. There is also a covered picnic area.

    The Troytown Café and Bar is located beneath the Grandstand and a short walk from the parade ring. The recently refurbished bar now has a dance floor, with live music after every weekend race meeting. The Kilberry Restaurant is self-service and accessible to all Navan racegoers with a selection of hot meals, soup, desserts and drinks. Other facilities include the Bective Restaurant, private suites and function rooms and the Arkle Pavilion, open to members, owners and trainers.

    The racecourse is approximately 30 miles from Dublin with an hourly Bus Éireann service from Dublin Central Bus Station (Busáras) to Navan town centre. There is normally no bus from the town to the racecourse, about 5km away, so you will need a taxi, although shuttle buses run from the town during the Navan Racing Festival. The nearest railway station to the racecourse is in Drogheda, about 15 miles east of Navan with a bus or taxi ride to the track.

    Tickets

    You can buy your Navan admission tickets online, and booking in advance is cheaper than paying at the turnstiles. Packages advertised on the website include the Real Deal, which bundles admission with food and drink vouchers, a racecard and a €5 bet, and a Final Fence Marquee table package at the Navan Racing Festival. Tables in the Bective Restaurant can also be booked; see the racecourse website for current options.

    The Effect of the Draw

    There is a straight six furlong course for sprint races at Navan where a low draw is considered favourable. However, the draw is rarely a deciding factor on one of the fairest tracks in the country.
