What is the Dublin Chase?
The Dublin Chase is a Grade 1 race run over two miles and one furlong and is open to horses aged five years or older. One of the showpiece events of the Dublin Racing Festival, which takes place over two days at Leopardstown racecourse, the Dublin Chase attracts some of the elite two-mile horses in training, who bid for glory in the coveted event. It is often used as a trial for the Champion Chase, which is run at the Cheltenham Festival in March, and while it's first running took place in 2018 it's been won by some elite performers. The Willie Mullins-trained Min won the inaugural running of the event and then retained the crown in 2019, while in 2020 his stablemate Chacun Pour Soi was a classy winner of the race.
What happened in the 2024 Dublin Chase?
El Fabiolo cruised to glory in the 2024 renewal of the race, strengthening his claims as the Champion Chaser elect with a powerful display. He would, however, go on to disappoint at Cheltenham and the horse he beat into third here Captain Guinness claimed the Queen Mother instead.
The history of the Dublin Chase
The race was first run in 2018 and won by the Willie Mullins trained Min, in fact, the only trainer to have ever won at this race is Mr. Mullins with Min winning the inaugural event and the 2019 outing and then the 2020, 2021 & 2022 renewals both being claimed by Chacun Pour Soi. The following year saw a shock winner but again a Mullins winner with Gentleman De Mee, before normal service resumed with Willie's short price favourite El Fabiolo scooping the 2024 pot. The race was upgraded from Grade 2 to Grade 1 status in 2019.
