The Curragh Derby Festival

The home of Irish flat racing and the largest horse training centre in the country, the Curragh has been host to all the great names in racing such as Alamshar, Galileo, and High Chaparral. And who could forget the famous but ill-fated Shergar?

Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby Day is the highlight of the racing calendar. Taking place on Sunday 28th June, it is an infectiously exciting social occasion of great glamour and electric atmosphere. The moment you arrive you know that this day is going to be special. Featuring some of the finest racehorses in the world, owned, trained and ridden by the world’s finest trainers and jockeys, let yourself be swept away by the thrill of this world-class racing.
