Rathbride Stakes

The Rathbride Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Ireland open to thoroughbred fillies and mares aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 1 mile and 1 furlong (1,811 metres) at the Curragh in July.

History

Until 2022 the race was sponsored by Kilboy Estate, a stud farm located in Dolla. It was established in 2004, and the first running was won by Tropical Lady.

The Kilboy Estate Stakes initially held Listed status. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2011, and raised to Group 2 in 2013. In 2023 the race was downgraded to Group 3 status and given its current title.

The race is staged during a two-day meeting called Irish Oaks Weekend. It is currently run on the second day, the day after the Irish Oaks.
