Navan Upcoming Live Streamed Races

Its proximity to Navan & Dublin influences the large number that attend the course. So too does its top quality the racing.

Navan Course Overview

The course hosts both flat racing and National Hunt racing, with the latter being what Navan is renowned for. Navan Racecourse hosts 17 meetings every year.

Flat Course

The flat course is perceived by many as the fairest course in Ireland. The circuit is a mile and a half long and is left-handed; The oval shaped course also has a chute to allow for five and six furlong races to be run purely on a straight. This is rather than having a significant period of the race run on the large bend coming into the home straight.

Despite predominantly being a sprinters’ track, the course is also a true test of stamina. It has a stiff three-furlong long home straight which can often find out those who have little left in the tank.

Therefore it’s important for jockeys to set their own pace and truly know what their mount is capable of before their ride. The course has no draw biases and only favours horses that can travel well and have plenty of energy.

The most famous race on the flat is the Vintage Crop Stakes. The Group 3 race is a mile and six furlongs long and seen as one of the Ascot Gold Cup trials.

Entrants must be four years old and older and can be of any gender; Although fillies and mares do receive a three pound weight allowance.

The race is named after the famous Vintage Crop, known for becoming the first horse from Europe to ever win the Melbourne Cup. That’s quite a feat, and he also won the Irish St Leger twice in 1993 and 1994.

The Jumps Course

The National Hunt circuit is a fair, galloping, left-handed track. The rectangular course is a mile and a half long and has a stiff finish on rising ground; It means that jockeys must be prepared coming into the home straight for a testing finish and not send for home too early.

The nine fences on the chase circuit ride well and aren’t too tricky to get over, with the second to last being the most difficult. The ground on the National Hunt course is crucial because it is quite absorbing ground. This means that when it rains the ground becomes soft/heavy incredibly quickly.

This type of ground – matched with a stiff, uphill finish – makes for a very testing final few furlongs. Those who are struggling on the home bend are often pulled up.

Viewing at Navan Racecourse

Aesthetically, Navan Racecourse is quite traditional; The course has avoided the hype of renovating the course to give a modern-day feel. Instead it has opted to retain everything that makes the venue so loved.

The grandstand itself has masses of space for the thousands of spectators that come to watch the racing. There is a second floor towards the back of the grandstand for those who want to sit back and avoid the hustle and bustle of race side punting and boozing.

The views at Navan are beautifully picturesque; Especially on a crisp winter morning with the frostbitten ground and early rising sun. The course is surrounded by old town buildings and farmland; This gives a sense of ‘meant to be’ for the racecourse due to how well it blends into its surroundings.

A backdrop of trees makes a terrific setting for the racing, which is very often of a high standard.

Those who are keen to watch Graded racing at a true local track, then Navan is certainly the course that should be considered most of all; Especially for the National Hunt racing.

Navan Race Calendar Highlights

There are plenty of Grade 2 and Grade 3 races on the National Hunt side of Navan, one of which being the Navan Novice Hurdle (Grade 2). The race is two miles and four furlongs long and often ran in December. That means that it is a true boggy test if the Irish weather is as expected.

The Navan Novice Hurdle was a Grade 1 contest from 2004. However after the 2014 running – where No More Heroes won for Gordon Elliott – the race was downgraded to Grade 2.
