Talk:Irish Classic Races

Debatable statement
Not sure about the races representing the championship for each generation in Ireland - the Irish Leger has been open to older horses since the early 80s and hasn't been won by a 3yo since Vinnie Roe won his first in 2001. --Bcp67 (talk) 20:57, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, good point Bcp67. I just copied across from British Classic Races, as I felt there should be an article on the Irish equivalent.  Not really that familiar with Irish racing.  What would be a better way of expressing their status?  The Guineas and Derby are pretty much equivalent aren't they? Peaky76 (talk) 09:58, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The new wording looks fine I think - and certainly the Derby, Oaks and Guineas are all straight equivalents, it's just the Leger which is slightly different. --Bcp67 (talk) 20:39, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Switched the race order round though as the Irish Oaks is invariably run in July, 2-3 weeks after the Irish Derby --Bcp67 (talk) 20:46, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
