The Juvenile Stakes (registered as the Golden Fleece Stakes) is a Group 3 flat horse race in Ireland open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) at Leopardstown in September.
History[]
The event was first named the Golden Fleece Stakes after Golden Fleece, the Irish-trained winner of The Derby in 1982. It was established in 2007, and was originally contested over 7 furlongs. It initially held Listed status, and took place in late June or early July.
The race was switched to September and extended to a mile in 2012. From this point it was billed as a trial for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, and known as the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Trial Stakes. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2013.[1] In 2014 it was renamed the Juvenile Turf Stakes and became part of the Irish Champions Weekend fixture. The word "Turf" was dropped from the title in 2015.
