Irish Oaks


History

The event was established in 1895, and it was originally contested over a mile. It was extended to its present length in 1915.
The field usually includes fillies which ran previously in the Epsom Oaks, and several have won both races. The first was Masaka in 1948, and the most recent was Minnie Hauk in 2025.
The leading participants from the Irish Oaks sometimes go on to compete in the following month's Yorkshire Oaks. The last to achieve victory in both events was Minnie Hauk in 2025.
