HENRY de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore were the headline acts on day one of the inaugural Navan Racing Festival, capturing the two feature events with a couple of yard favourites.

Bob Olinger (SP 15/8) was turned over in last year’s Grade 2 Railway Bar Lismullen Hurdle after travelling strongly and trading as short as 1/33 in the in-running markets, but he made amends in the same race this time around - picking up too sharply for 5/4 favourite Zanahiyr.
