In Ireland, the Triple Crown, modelled on the English equivalent, is made up of

 

  • The Irish 2000 Guineas;
  • the Irish Derby; and
  • the Irish St. Leger,

 

All the races run at the Curragh.

 

Only two horses have won all three races since the Irish Two Thousand Guineas was first run in 1921: Museum in 1935 and Windsor Slipper in 1942 (Williams & Hyland 1980). Desert King won the first two legs in 1997, but was perceived to have stamina limitations and not aimed at the St. Leger. Ironically, he went on to sire a great stayer in Makybe Diva, three times winner of the Melbourne Cup over two miles
