Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp is a Group 1 flat horse race in France for two-year-old and above thoroughbreds run over a distance of 1,000 metres (approximately 5 furlongs) at Longchamp Racecourse during the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe meeting in early October.
It was first run in 1957, the centenary year of the racecourse, and takes its name from Longchamp Abbey, founded by Isabelle of France in the 13th century.
