Naas Course Guide and Statistics
The course at Naas
Naas is a left-handed, galloping course with a straight course for sprint distances. It races on the Flat and over jumps, and its location in Kildare, close to many of Ireland's leading trainers, means it often features well-bred young horses.
Betting at Naas
The galloping nature suits horses with stamina, and the straight course can produce a draw bias in big fields. Two-year-old races and novice hurdles here often feature promising horses from leading stables.
