The Curragh Racecourse, with their sponsor Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai, will honour the late Kevin Prendergast by running the International Stakes in memory of the legendary trainer.

The Group 3 contest takes place this Saturday, the second day of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby Festival, and will be titled “The Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai International Stakes in honour of Kevin Prendergast”.

Prendergast, who died last week at the age of 92, trained on the Curragh for over 60 years, with his big-race victories at the track including consecutive editions of the International Stakes with Mustameet in 2006 and Decado in 2007.
