It is run at the Curragh over a distance of 5 furlongs (1,006 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in August.

History

The event was first run in 1932, run as The Curragh Foal Plate until 1956 and The Curragh Foal Stakes in 1957 and 1958. It was classed at Group 3 level in 1971. For a period it was usually staged in July. It was discontinued after 1996.

The Curragh Stakes was revived in 2008, and from this point it held Listed status. It became known as the Grangecon Stud Stakes in 2009. It was switched to August in 2010, and reverted to its former title in 2011. The race was upgraded to Group 3 in 2015 and downgraded back to Listed status in 2018.
