The Beresford Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Ireland open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at the Curragh over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in September or October.

History

The event was sponsored by Panasonic in the mid-1980s, and during this time it held Group 2 status. Juddmonte Farms took over the sponsorship in 1988.

The race was relegated to Group 3 level in 1992. It regained Group 2 status in 2003.

The Beresford Stakes was added to the Breeders' Cup Challenge series in 2012. The winner now earns an invitation to compete in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.[1]
