Tom Ryan, manager of Naas Racecourse, will leave the track after 13 years to take up the role of Director of Strategy & International Racing at the Equestrian Club of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
Ryan said, “It has been an absolute pleasure to serve Naas Racecourse over the past 13 years or so. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, working with a very proactive board and staff to progress Naas Racecourse over the years and to improve its status within the racing industry. I want to acknowledge the very valued support I have gotten from all industry participants, race day contributors and race goers. Naas Racecourse will remain very close to my heart for many years to come and I look forward to seeing its fortunes improve in the usual consistent way.”
Chairman of Naas, Dermot Cantillon, said, “On behalf of Naas Racecourse I want to congratulate Tom on his new appointment. During his tenure Tom has done a really excellent job. Both the many improvements on the track and the enhancement of the racing program are a testimony to his hard work and dedication. The Naas Board will now seek to recruit a new manager to continue with our vision for the racecourse as a top international dual-purpose track.”
