Duty Free Extends Derby Sponsorship

Dubai Duty Free will again sponsor the G1 Irish Derby in 2018. This year's renewal, worth €1.5-million, takes place on June 30 at The Curragh. Dubai Duty Free has been the title sponsor of the Irish Derby since 2008. Last year's Irish Derby, won by subsequent G1 St Leger winner Capri (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) over Cracksman (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and Wings Of Eagles (Fr) (Pour Moi {Ire}), was the world's highest-rated race of the year restricted to 3-year-olds.

Derek McGrath, chief executive officer of The Curragh, said, “Dubai Duty Free have been outstanding partners of The Curragh and I would like to acknowledge the significant contribution that Colm McLoughlin and his team have made to the success of the Irish Derby over the past 10 years.”
