Prix Ganay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prix Ganay is a Group 1 flat horse race in France for four-year-old and above thoroughbreds run over a distance of 2,100 metres (approximately 1 mile and 2½ furlongs) at Longchamp racecourse in late April / early May.

It was first run in 1889 as the Prix des Sablons and was re-named in 1949 in memory of Jean de Ganay, a leading figure in French racing who died the previous year.
