The Centenary of the Naas Racecourse

Established in 1924, Naas is renowned as a nursery of champions for both the Irish National Hunt and the Flat. This book traces the evolution of a track from a humble field on the outskirts of a bustling Irish market town to its present-day status as one of Europe’s best-loved boutique racecourses. It homes in on some of the most fascinating and successful horses to have competed on the track, as well as the jockeys, trainers, owners and spectators that have accompanied them. Arranged by decade and comprising documents, photographs and drawings the book was designed to be highly visual and easily accessible to a general public. Many of the old black and white images supplied were subsequently manipulated to add more colour to the earlier chapters.
