The 1933 Irish Derby was awarded to Shelbourne Park once again by the Irish Coursing Club (ICC). The Harold's Cross Stadium management were left angered after missing out again on the event. Mr Tynan representing the track had pointed out that the previous year Paddy O’Donoghue had promised that they could hold the event in 1933. I.C.C chairman John Bruton explained that they could not cancel a ruling by the club that had already been made. Tynan stormed out of a meeting with the ICC and Harold's Cross refused to run any classic competitions or their qualifying races in 1933 and threatened to run their own Irish Championship. [2] [3]

The winner Monologue was owned by Luke Maher and bred by John Hughes of Carlow. [4]
