Photos Naas; Saturday

[robertob]

Grueling day at Naas yesterday considering the weather and ground conditions. Was lashing down non stop. You had to be brave and mad to be there. But a very loyal crowd gathered at the track to watch some pretty decent racing. Two graded races and some potential Cheltenham runners were on offer. Naas is a lovely little racecourse, not pretty but has some character. Three different stands along the home straight is quite impressive, the view is great, everything is so close, you could watch the horses in the paddock, get your bets on and watch the racing without leaving one of the stands for example. Some of my photos below...

Re: Photos Naas; Saturday Great set of Photos. Thanks for sharing. Looked like it was a right horrible day weather wise looking at the state of the jockeys!
