Bookmaker Colm White extends Naas sponsorship Naas Racecourse and Colm White Bookmakers have announced the extension of their partnership for the 2026 racing season. Having successfully sponsored the €100,000 Beggar’s End Handicap over the past number of years, Colm White Bookmakers will now expand their support by sponsoring a series of handicaps across the season at Naas, further strengthening their support for Irish racing and providing valuable opportunities at grassroots level. The expanded sponsorship will see Colm White Bookmakers lend their name to four additional handicaps on some of the racecourse’s most popular fixtures, including The Flat is Back Raceday, Punchestown Preview Evening, June BBQ & Music Evening, and Juvenile Raceday. The €100,000 Beggar’s End Handicap has become one of the standout contests in the Irish racing calendar and has historically attracted many of the country’s leading trainers, with recent victories going to champions Aidan O'Brien and Joseph O'Brien. Through the expanded sponsorship, Colm White hopes to continue supporting high-quality racing while also giving back to the grassroots participants that form the backbone of the sport. Colm White of Colm White Bookmakers said “Sponsoring these handicaps is our way of giving back to the sport we love. From the premier €100,000 Beggar’s End Handicap to these additional races across the season, we’re proud to support both top-tier competition and the grassroots participants who make racing what it is.” Aidan McGarry, General Manager of Naas Racecourse, added “We’re thrilled that Colm White Bookmakers are expanding their presence here at Naas Racecourse. Their continued support is hugely appreciated and it’s fantastic to see their sponsorship extend across such a diverse range of races, from competitive handicaps right through to one of our premier contests.”
