The curtain comes down on the 2025 flat racing season this Sunday at The Curragh, with a packed eight-race programme set to provide a fitting finale. It is hoped that newly crowned Champion Jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle will have returned from the Breeders’ Cup to receive his trophy, while the Champion Apprentice title is still too close to call with the winner likely to be decided on the final day.

The sponsorship will see 1xBet, an international company specialising in online gaming and betting, prominently featured across the racecourse over four race days and includes title sponsorship of ten individual races. Please gamble responsibly. Strictly over 18's only.

The Curragh is delighted to announce that DNG, one of Ireland’s leading estate agencies, will be the title sponsor of the race day taking place on Thursday, 16th October. The eight-race programme will feature three individual races sponsored by DNG, marking a significant expansion of their involvement with the iconic racecourse.

30 runners will line up for the Friends of The Curragh Irish Cesarewitch including two British trained challengers with Tashkhan representing Brian Ellison and the Ed Bethell trained Minstrel Knight.

A full field of 30 runners will face the starter in the Goffs Million this Saturday.
