I’m at @NaasRacecourse with @TeamMatchbook this evening. #MatchbookLovesRacing Announced as a Partner of Naas Racecourse for 2026 Flat Season Naas Racecourse is delighted to announce a new partnership with Matchbook, who will sponsor eight races across four key fixtures during the 2026 flat season. This multi-race partnership will see Matchbook aligned with some of the most competitive and high-quality races in the Irish racing calendar, including contests on Darley Irish EBF Naas Oaks Trial Day, Ballyhane Stakes Day, and the Tally-Ho Stud Ballyogan Stakes meeting. These fixtures consistently attract strong fields and serve as important stepping stones for horses progressing to major domestic and international targets. The sponsorship includes two Irish EBF two-year-old maidens on Naas Oaks Trial Day in May- races that have historically produced top-class performers. Previous winners include Little Big Bear and Albert Einstein, both of whom went on to compete at the highest level. Matchbook will also sponsor four races on Ballyhane Stakes Day, one of the standout days of the summer at Naas, featuring the richest race run at the racecourse. The remaining races form part of popular summer fixtures, combining competitive racing with strong attendances and vibrant raceday experiences. In addition to raceday sponsorship, the partnership will see Matchbook benefit from extensive on-course branding, media exposure, and content creation opportunities throughout the season. Aidan McGarry, General Manager of Naas Racecourse, said: “We are delighted to welcome Matchbook as a key partner for the 2026 flat season. Their commitment to sponsoring eight races across some of our most important fixtures is a significant endorsement of the quality of racing at Naas. These races consistently produce high-class performers, and we look forward to working closely with the Matchbook team to deliver a strong and engaging partnership throughout the season.” Ronan McDonagh, CEO of Matchbook, commented: “We are very pleased to partner with Naas Racecourse for the 2026 flat season. Naas hosts some of the most competitive and informative races in Ireland, and this sponsorship provides a great opportunity for Matchbook to engage with racing fans and participants across the season. We look forward to being involved on some fantastic racedays and building a strong relationship with the team at Naas.” Naas Racecourse looks forward to welcoming the Matchbook team across the 2026 season.

Segunda división es un puto psiquiátrico

@Fitzwilliam__ @JohnnyDineen Johnny might be able to afford the price tag now he’s made it in the Crypto world

2 of the best to ever do it, SOLDIER IN MILAN and @JohnnyDineen

@alanr1chardson Apparently tipped that one as a 10pt win, turned himself into Mad Merrigan for a day

I’ll never forget this peach. Damien Moore gave this day. Is he still tipping?

@DavidOK24078818 Bled from the nose yesterday

Field of Gold will be a bet for me the next day but I’d way prefer not to see Colin Keane onboard / just doesn’t ride the English tracks well

One of our syndicate members won a couple of tickets for Punchestown Tuesday courtesy of HRI Ownership but he can't go. And either can I. Would anyone like them? DM me

The fact that the result of the Perth bumper at 5.35pm, changed well after the weigh-in, has not even been mentioned in the @BHAStewards report is astonishing. Feel for on-course books, and exchange punters in photo, and all the ill-will it will have caused online firms, too.

🚨 RUNNER TODAY 🚨 🏇 Fair Damsel 📍 @TramoreRaces ⏰ 6:12 T @CianCollins16 J Carl Millar Hoping for a good run. Best of luck to all concerned 🤞 #WeWinRacing

@quarterfirst4 @halfnutz5 Was convinced whatever TPR rode in the Martin Pipe was a Credit Union loan job last year @dec_car

@halfnutz5 I remember Rothwell saying similar last year or year before. TPR (7) to offset too much success
