|}The Rathbride Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Ireland open to thoroughbred fillies and mares aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 1 mile and 1 furlong (1,811 metres) at the Curragh in July.
Until 2022 the race was sponsored by Kilboy Estate, a stud farm located in Dolla.[1] It was established in 2004, and the first running was won by Tropical Lady.
The Kilboy Estate Stakes initially held Listed status. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2011, and raised to Group 2 in 2013.[2] In 2023 the race was downgraded to Group 3 status[3] and given its current title.
The race is staged during a two-day meeting called Irish Oaks Weekend. It is currently run on the second day, the day after the Irish Oaks.
