2 Weeks Until Longines Irish Champions Weekend!
Day 1 of Longines Irish Champions Weekend takes place on Saturday, September 11th 2021. We look forward to an eight race card made up of five Group Races and one Listed Race. The two Group One races on the card are the prestigious Irish Champion Stakes and the Coolmore America “Justify” Matron Stakes which are consistently among the leading races in the world.

He and American Pharoah are the only two winners of the Triple Crown in the past 40 years and stand alongside each other at Coolmore America. Justify’s first crop yearlings in 2021 have sold for up to $1,800,000
