The Minstrel Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Ireland open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.
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 July.
It was formerly held at Phoenix Park in late April or early May, and it used to be contested by three-year-olds over a mile.
[citation needed] The race was transferred to the Curragh and switched to July in 1991, and at this point it was opened to older horses.
The minimum age of participating horses was raised to four in 2002, and three-year-olds were re-admitted in 2007.
