The G1 Pretty Polly S. will be sponsored by Juddmonte Farms for the next three years, The Curragh Racecourse announced on Tuesday. Worth €250,000, the 10-furlong contest is slated to be held on July 1, 2018, the feature race on the third day of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby Festival. Juddmonte has been the sponsor of The Curragh's G2 Beresford S. since 1988 and many Juddmonte runners have found success at the highest level at the Irish racecourse, including the likes of Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), who landed the G1 Darley Irish Oaks in 2017.
Douglas Erskine Crum CEO Juddmonte Group said, “Juddmonte is delighted to sponsor the Pretty Polly at The Curragh. The addition of this race completes our current sponsorship portfolio, with Juddmonte now sponsoring Group/Grade 1 races in the UK, Ireland, France and the USA.”
“We are very grateful to His Highness Prince Khalid and the team at Juddmonte for their generous support of The Curragh and we are delighted that they will be associated with one of our most high profile races. Our priority will be to continue to enhance our racing programme and this great news gives very positive momentum to that journey.”
