The Silver Flash Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Ireland open to two-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run at Leopardstown over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.

History

The event was formerly held at Phoenix Park in early September. For a period it was run over 7 furlongs and classed at Listed level.

The race was transferred to Leopardstown and switched to late October in 1991. It was cut to 6 furlongs in 1993, and from this point it took place in early June. It was moved to July in 1999.

The Silver Flash Stakes reverted to 7 furlongs in 2007. It was promoted to Group 3 status in 2008.
