It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) at the Curragh in early May.
History
The event is named after The Tetrarch, a successful Irish racehorse foaled in 1911. The 2021 running carried the name of Dick McCormick, an Irish racehorse trainer who was one of the few men who rode The Tetrarch in workouts.[1]
For a period the Tetrarch Stakes held Group 3 status. It was downgraded to Listed level in 2011.[2]
The Tetrarch Stakes can serve as a trial for the Irish 2,000 Guineas. The last horse to win both races was Paddington in 2023.[3]
The distance of the event was increased from 7 furlongs to 1 mile in 2022.[2]
