About The Curragh: The Curragh is considered to be Ireland's most important Thoroughbred racecourse. It is located on the Curragh plain in County Kildare, which is situated between the towns of Newbridge and Kildare. The word "Curragh" comes from the Irish (Gaeilge) word Cuirreach, which translated means "place of the running horse." The first recorded race on the plain was contested almost 300 years ago, in 1727, but it was actually used for races even before that. The first Irish Derby was held in 1866, and in 1868 the Curragh was officially declared a horse racing and training facility by an act of parliament… This year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby Festival again promises to be one of the highlights of the racing and social calendar taking place over three days from Friday 30th June – Sunday 2nd July at The Curragh.
