The Leopardstown 2,000 Guineas Trial Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Ireland open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings. It is run over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres) at Leopardstown in March or April.

History

The event was formerly staged at Phoenix Park under the title 2,000 Guineas Trial. It used to be contested over 7 furlongs, and for a period it held Group 3 status. It was downgraded to Listed level in 1987.

The race was transferred to Leopardstown in 1991. It was extended to a mile in 1994. It regained Group 3 status in 2005, and reverted to Listed class in 2013.[1] The race was reduced in distance to 7 furlongs again in 2018.

The event can serve as a trial for various colts' Classics in Europe. The last winner to achieve victory in the Irish 2,000 Guineas was Saffron Walden in 1999. The last to win the 2,000 Guineas was Refuse to Bend in 2003.
