Irish Listed Horse Races
There are so many stakes and conditions races in Ireland including the popular listed class.
The Irish listed class is a horse race at a level just below the Group level. Listed horse races are three tiers of the highest-rated events in Ireland’s race meetings calendar. The racehorses run off level weights unless receiving a weight allowance for a 3yo racing against older horses or carrying a penalty for previous success.
The top-rated horse racing trainers and jockeys fight out in listed races throughout the year in Ireland.
No minimum official rating is required to run in a Listed race but, nonetheless Listed races are considered more prestigious than Irish premier handicap races.
In our Irish listed class horse racing guide, we will list everything you need to know about the biggest and best listed graded stakes horse races in Ireland.
