The Moyglare Stud Stakes is Ireland’s premier race for juvenile thoroughbred fillies. Held at the Curragh Racecourse in late July/early August, the race features fillies that are on track for appearances in major 3-year-old events like the Irish and English Oaks and 1,000 Guineas.
The Moyglare Stud Stakes is run over a distance of 7 furlongs, just off the distance run in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. The winner earns more than a Group 1 title, with an automatic place in the season-ending Breeders’ Cup Fillies’ Turf also allocated to the Moyglare Stud Stakes champion.

The Moyglare Stud Stakes has been a part of the Irish racing calendar since 1971, when it was introduced to the Curragh as a 6 furlong sprint event. The event was originally classified as a Group 3 event, but was promoted to Group 2 status in 1979.
It wasn’t until 1983 that the Moyglare Stud Stakes was run as Group 1 race. In 1992 an extra furlong was added to the Moyglare Stud Stakes race distance. The race is named after the group that has sponsored it throughout its history – the Moyglare Stud.
As one of the most important trial races for the Irish 1,000 Guineas and English 1,000 Guineas it is unsurprising to find that a number of Moyglare Stud Stakes winners have gone on to claim victory in the Classics. Recently 2008 Moyglare Stud Stakes winner, Again, went on to win the Irish 1,000 Guineas.
