Meld Stakes

The Meld Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Ireland open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.

It is run at Leopardstown over a distance of 1 mile and 1 furlong (1,811 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.

The event was formerly contested over 1 mile and 4 furlongs, and it used to be held at the Curragh in late August or early September.

It was previously known as the Brownstown Stakes, and for a period it was restricted to fillies and mares.

The race was reopened to male horses and cut to 1 mile and 2 furlongs in 1993.
