At the Chantilly racecourse in early June, this prestigious event has been the flagship competition for 3-year-old colts since 1836!
The best thoroughbreds of the new generation of 3-year-olds will try to secure this supreme title, one of the most prestigious in Europe.
This event is one of the most selective of the season, and each year rewards the fastest thoroughbred.
This Group I event, the highest level of horse racing, was created in 1836 and is contested over a distance of 2,100 metres, with an uphill final straight of 600 metres.
