Naas `best` for all-weather track Naas racecourse received Dermot Weld`s backing yesterday as the most suitable site for Ireland`s proposed new all-weather track.Four other courses are in contention. They are Fairyhouse, Tipperary, Limerick and Dundalk. The Horse Racing Ireland chief executive Brian Kavanagh is currently compiling a report on the suitability of each proposal but there is no deadline on a final decision.However, Weld said: 'It makes sense to site it near a centre of population. Fairyhouse is a good idea too, but I just think they might have to make it a right handed track. 'That would make it probably the only right handed all-weather course in the world.'When I was on the HRI board, Leopardstown always looked the place to go, especially with the new motorway access. What has changed? 'But I think Naas is the place and if we are to build it, we should do so to the highest international standards so that if there is a European Breeders` Cup, Ireland will be able to hold it.'
