The John Meagher Memorial Chase is a Listed National Hunt chase in Ireland which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Thurles over a distance of about 2 miles and 6 furlongs (4,426 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in early November.

The event was formerly a handicap, first run in 1996, and was called the Thurles Handicap Chase. It became a conditions race in 2004, and it was given Listed status in 2009 at which point the race was renamed the Thurles Chase. It took its present title in 2011. Since 2015 it has been run as the Boomerang Animal Bedding And Boomerang Horse & Country Store Chase.
