The Vintage Crop Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Ireland open to thoroughbreds aged four years or older. It is run at Navan over a distance of 1 mile and 6 furlongs (2,816 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in April.

Contents

The race was first run, as a Listed race, in 2003. It was upgraded to Group Three status from 2014. [1] The race was a furlong shorter until 2011.

The race is named after Vintage Crop, an Irish-trained racehorse of the 1990s who won the Irish St. Leger twice and became the first European runner to win the Melbourne Cup, in 1993.[ citation needed ]

From 2022, the Vintage Crop Stakes downgraded to listed race while reforming Irish staying races in early season. [2]

Alandi is an Irish-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was a slow-maturing horse who did not race as a two-year-old and made only one (winning) appearance at three. As a four-year-old he established himself as one of the best staying racehorses in the world with victories in the Vintage Crop Stakes, Ballycullen Stakes, Irish St. Leger and Prix du Cadran. He was then sold to race in Australia as a Melbourne Cup prospect but failed to reproduce his European form. A return to Europe in 2012 saw no improvement and he was retired from racing to become a breeding stallion in Poland.
