The Vintage Crop Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Ireland open to thoroughbreds aged four years or older. It is run at Navan over a distance of 1 mile and 6 furlongs (2,816 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in April.
The race was first run, as a Listed race, in 2003. It was upgraded to Group Three status from 2014.[1] The race was a furlong shorter until 2011.
The race is named after Vintage Crop, an Irish-trained racehorse of the 1990s who won the Irish St. Leger twice and became the first European runner to win the Melbourne Cup, in 1993.[citation needed]
From 2022, the Vintage Crop Stakes downgraded to listed race while reforming Irish staying races in early season.[2]
