The event is named after the racehorse Herod, one of the three 18th-century foundation sires. During the early part of its history it was held at Le Tremblay. It was later transferred to Evry, where its regular distance was 1,600 metres.
The race was run at Saint-Cloud over 1,500 metres in 1997, and at Maisons-Laffitte over 1,400 metres for several years thereafter. It was switched to Deauville in 2002, and its length was cut to 1,300 metres in 2004.
The Prix Herod was moved to Longchamp in 2005, and at the same time it reverted to 1,400 metres. It is now held at the same meeting as the Prix du Conseil de Paris.
