The Irish Champion Stakes will, sadly, not feature the world’s best horse but a classy crop of seven go to post in the €1,000,000 race at Leopardstown.
Baaeed has been ruled out of the 10 furlong contest with the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe or Champion Stakes at Ascot on the agenda for the final run of his career, but the likes of Mishriff and Vadeni could make it a battle of the generations to remember.

Irish Champion Stakes 2022 betting
You can run the rule over Paddy Power’s latest odds for the Irish Champion Stakes 2022 on the Paddy Power website or via our snazzy widgets below.
French Derby winner Vadeni is the hot favourite and the Churchill colt has strong form over 10 furlongs after beating the likes of Mishriff and Native Trail to land the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown in July.
Mishriff took his winless run to five races after finding Baaeed too hot to handle in the Juddmonte International but was within a neck of Vadeni in the Coral-Eclipse despite dwelling at the start under former jockey David Egan.
Next in the betting is Luxembourg, who was successful on his first start over 1m2f when scoring in the Fitzdares Royal Whip Stakes this month following a lengthy injury break that forced the 2000 Guineas third to miss the Epsom Derby.
