The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Hurdle was run at Naas Racecourse on Saturday, March 22, 2026. The race, a contest for four-year-olds and upwards over two miles, featured a field of 15 runners.
The 10-11 favourite, Dani Donadoni, ridden by J.J. Slevin and trained by Gordon Elliott, tracked the leaders and moved into second place two hurdles from the finish. The gelding disputed the lead at the final hurdle but was bumped and headed inside the final furlong.
Dani Donadoni kept on well but could not regain the lead, finishing second, beaten 2 1/4 lengths by the winner, Ksar. The result was confirmed by the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's official race report.
