🏆 Introducing the Golden Horseshoe Challenge
The Curragh 🤝 York Racecourse
Two iconic Group 1 sprints. Two racecourses. One new challenge.
The Bar 1 Betting Flying Five Stakes and the Coolmore Stud City Of Troy Nunthorpe Stakes will now be linked by the Golden Horseshoe Challenge — with the trophy awarded to the owner of any horse who can win both races in the same season.
⚡ York → The Curragh
🏇 Two Group 1s
📅 Just three weeks apart
🏆 One Golden Horseshoe
A new cross-channel challenge for Europe’s fastest horses.
The partnership comes as Bar 1 Racing extends its sponsorship of the Flying Five Stakes for a further three years to 2030, while 2026 marks 20 years of Coolmore’s support of the Nunthorpe Stakes.
Who will be the first to complete the double? 🏆
