Irish Oaks

The Irish Oaks is a Group 1 flat horse race in Ireland open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies.

It is run at the Curragh over a distance of 1 mile and 4 furlongs (2,414 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.

It is Ireland's equivalent of The Oaks, a famous race in England.

The event was established in 1895, and it was originally contested over a mile.

[citation needed] The field usually includes fillies which ran previously in the Epsom Oaks, and several have won both races.
