Does Auguste Rodin win it again?

Auguste Rodin beats Luxembourg and Nashwa in the Irish Champion Stakes 2023

The Group 1 Irish Champion Stakes takes pride of place on the calendar as one of the key races in the middle-distance division.

It is the feature race on part one of the Irish Champions Festival weekend and a monster prize worth €712,500 goes to connections of the first past the post.

Auguste Rodin narrowly denied stablemate Luxembourg in last year’s thrilling renewal – to earn an invitation to the Breeders’ Cup Turf, which he subsequently won – and will attempt to defend his crown against rising stars Los Angeles and Economics.

You can run the rule over our Irish Champion Stakes odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
