Bet on the Navan Race Cards for National Hunt Meetings
The high-profile racing at Navan begins in November as far as the National Hunt horse season is concerned, with the Lismullen Hurdle, Fortria Chase and Monksfield Novice Hurdle among the Grade 2 encounters which take centre stage during this particular month.
In December, we have the Tara Hurdle and also the Navan Novices’ Hurdle which is the Group 1 race on the Navan racecard and it’s fantastic to place bets on the two mile and four furlong encounter which has seen several high profile horses land a victory.
The race first took place in 1999 over two miles before the distance was gradually expanded and we’ve seen trainer Willie Mullins dominate through saddling champions such as Boston Bob, Pont Alexandre and Briar Hill.
We traditionally see Sunday meetings taking place at Navan Racecourse and that includes some of the winter racing in January, with the Boyne Hurdle, Ten Up Novice Chase and Flyingbolt Novice Chase among the leading races.
