The Irish Oaks is a Group 1 flat horse race in Ireland open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run at the Curragh over a distance of 1 mile and 4 furlongs (2,414 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.

Contents

It is Ireland's equivalent of The Oaks, a famous race in England.

History

The event was established in 1895, and it was originally contested over a mile. It was extended to its present length in 1915.[ citation needed ]

The field usually includes fillies which ran previously in the Epsom Oaks, and several have won both races. The first was Masaka in 1948, and the most recent was Snowfall in 2021.[ citation needed ]

The leading participants from the Irish Oaks sometimes go on to compete in the following month's Yorkshire Oaks. The last to achieve victory in both events was Snowfall in 2021.[ citation needed ]
