Debutante Stakes (Ireland)

The Debutante Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Ireland open to two-year-old thoroughbred fillies.

It is run at the Curragh over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in August.

The event was formerly held at Phoenix Park, and it used to be contested over 6 furlongs.

[citation needed] The Debutante Stakes returned to the Curragh in 2000, and it regained Group 3 status in 2001.

[citation needed] In recent years, the venue of the race has switched between Leopardstown (2006, 2008–09) and the Curragh (2007, 2010–19).
