A Proud Day for Tulfarris at the Irish Oaks
There are some days that stay with you long after the final race has been run, and our recent visit to The Curragh for the Irish Oaks was certainly one of them.
As the sponsor of the Tulfarris Hotel & Golf Resort Sapphire Stakes (Group 2), we were incredibly proud to see our name alongside one of Ireland's most prestigious days of racing. It marked the final race sponsorship of our 2026 season and was a fantastic way to finish an unforgettable year.
The Sapphire Stakes brought together a field of 10 exceptional horses, creating an exciting atmosphere from the moment they entered the track. Congratulations to James Doyle, who produced a superb winning ride aboard Cover Up, trained by Simon & Ed Crisford, to claim victory in a thrilling finish.
While the racing itself was spectacular, the Irish Oaks is about far more than what happens on the track.
It's about spending quality time with family and friends, enjoying a great day outdoors, soaking up the electric atmosphere and celebrating the very best of Irish sport. From fashion and food to the excitement of every race, it's an experience that brings people together and creates memories that last.
At Tulfarris Hotel & Golf Resort, we're passionate about supporting events that showcase the very best of Ireland. Partnering with The Curragh allows us to be part of something truly special while celebrating the sporting traditions that so many of our guests love.
A Winning Partnership
Our sponsorship reflects what Tulfarris is all about:
⇒ Supporting world-class Irish sporting events.
⇒ Creating memorable experiences for our guests.
⇒ Celebrating excellence, tradition, and hospitality.
⇒ Building exciting partnerships with some of Ireland's most iconic venues.
If you've never experienced a day at The Curragh, let this be your sign. The atmosphere, the excitement and the occasion are unlike anything else, and when you combine it with a relaxing stay at Tulfarris Hotel & Golf Resort, you have the perfect Irish getaway.
That's Not All
As well as sponsoring a race at The Curragh for the Irish Oaks we also took on the Style Awards that happens at the Irish Oaks. The theme we landed on this year was Styled by Nature – Inspired by the lakes, gardens and landscapes that surround Tulfarris Hotel & Golf Resort.
