The Blue Wind Stakes is a Group 3flathorse race in Ireland open to thoroughbredfillies and mares aged three years. It is run over a distance of 1 mile 2 furlongs and 84 yards (2,284 metres) at Naas in May.
History
The event is named after Blue Wind, the Irish-trained winner of the Epsom Oaks and Irish Oaks in 1981. It was established in 2001, and was initially staged at Cork.
The race originally held Listed status, and was promoted to Group 3 level in 2004. It was transferred to Naas in 2005. Prior to 2020 it was also open to horses older than three years.
The Blue Wind Stakes can sometimes serve as a trial for the Epsom Oaks. The last participant to win the Oaks was Was, the third-placed horse in 2012.
