Prix André Baboin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prix André Baboin is a Group 3 flat horse race in France for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds in October. There is no fixed venue, as it is shared by the principal regional racecourses of France. The distance varies slightly with each racecourse, but is generally around 2,000 metres (approximately 1¼ miles).

It was first run in 1982 as the Grand Prix des Provinces, and was re-named in 1986 in memory of André Baboin, the founder of Lyon Parilly Racecourse, who died in 1985.
