1st: €53,625The Noblesse Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Ireland open to thoroughbred fillies and mares aged three years or older. It is run at Cork over a distance of 1 mile and 4 furlongs (2,414 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in June.
The event is named after Noblesse, a successful Irish-trained filly whose victories included the Epsom Oaks in 1963. It was established in 2003, and it was initially held at Naas. It was originally classed at Listed level, and the first running was restricted to three-year-olds.
The Noblesse Stakes was promoted to Group 3 status and opened to older fillies and mares in 2004. It was transferred to Cork in 2005.
