Prix du Jockey Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prix du Jockey Club is a Group 1 flat horse race in France for three-year-old thoroughbred colts and fillies run over a distance of 2,100 metres (approximately 1 mile 2½ furlongs) at Chantilly Racecourse in early June.

It was first run in 1836 and is the French equivalent of the English Epsom Derby. The race was reduced from 2,400 metres (1 mile 4 furlongs) to its present distance in 2005.
