Phoenix Sprint Stakes

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

It is run at the Curragh over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in August.

The event was formerly held at Phoenix Park, and for a period it was known as the Matt Gallagher Sprint Stakes.

[citation needed] The Phoenix Sprint Stakes began its present spell at the Curragh in 2002.

It was temporarily switched to Leopardstown in 2008, as the planned running at the Curragh was abandoned due to waterlogging.
