The Prix de la Porte Maillot is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Longchamp over a distance of 1,400 metres (about 7 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late June or early July.

History

[edit]

The event is named after the Porte Maillot, a gateway to the Bois de Boulogne. It has been staged since 1867, although in its earlier years it was a minor race.

The profile of the Prix de la Porte Maillot was raised when it became part of the prestigious Grand Prix de Paris meeting in 1952. From this point it was contested over 1,600 metres, and it was shortened to 1,400 metres in 1955.

The race has continued to be held at Longchamp without exception[a], but it is no longer run on the same day as the Grand Prix de Paris.
