Prix Greffulhe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prix Greffulhe is a Group 2 flat horse race in France for three-year-old thoroughbreds (excluding geldings) run over a distance of 2,000 metres (approximately 1 mile 2 furlongs) at Saint-Cloud Racecourse in May.

It was first run in 1882 and was named in memory of Henri Greffulhe, a leading figure in French racing who died in 1879. The race was transferred to Saint-Cloud in 2005, having previously been staged at Longchamp Racecourse over a distance of 2,100 metres (1 mile 2½ furlongs) at a slightly earlier point in the season in April.
