History

The event was formerly known as the Wassl Race. It was named after Wassl, the winner of the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 1983. For a period it held Listed status.

The race was given its present title in 1990. From this point it was sponsored by Derrinstown Stud. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2002.

The Derrinstown Stud 1,000 Guineas Trial serves as a trial for the Irish 1,000 Guineas. The last horse to win both races was Bethrah in 2010.
