The Pretty Polly Stakes is a
Group 1
flat
horse race in Ireland open to
thoroughbred
fillies and
mares aged three years or older. It is run at the
Curragh over a distance of 1 mile and 2 furlongs (2,012 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late June or early July.
History
The event is named after
Pretty Polly , a successful filly foaled in Ireland in 1901. It was originally restricted to fillies aged three, but it was later opened to older horses. For a period it was classed at Group 2 level, and it was promoted to Group 1 status in 2004.[

The Pretty Polly Stakes was part of the
Breeders' Cup Challenge series from 2009 to 2012. The winner earned an automatic invitation to compete in the same year's
Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf .
[1]
The race is currently held on the final day of the Curragh's three-day
Irish Derby meeting.[
