Horse Racing - Phoenix Stakes
A Group 1 contest for two-year-olds run each August at The Curragh in County Kildare, Ireland over six furlongs (1,207 metres). It was inaugurated in 1902 as a five furlongs contest at the old Phoenix Park course in Dublin as the Phoenix Plate, becoming an event over six furlongs in 1983. It moved to Leopardstown in 1982, and was also held there from 1991 through to 2001, before taking up residence at The Curragh in 2002.
