Naas Racecourse |
| |
The reputation of Naas as a training ground for future champions has continued over the years, with many of Ireland's top class flat and national hunt horses starting and enhancing their careers at Naas.
Naas has played host to some of Ireland's finest racehorses including the great Mill House, who celebrated his first victory at Naas in the Osberstown Hurdle. The following year the legendary Arkle made a visit to the winner’s enclosure at Naas in the Rathconnel Hurdle. Mill House went on to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1963 with Arkle subsequently completing an unprecedented hat trick in ’64, ’65 and ’66.
Other horses that won at Naas before heading across the water to glory at Liverpool in the Aintree Grand National include Kilmore, Team Spirit, Nicholas Silver and Early Mist.
