The Prix Paul de Moussac is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings. It is run at Chantilly over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile), and it is scheduled to take place each year in June.

History

[edit]

The event was established in 1909, and it was originally called the Prix de La Jonchere. It was named after La Jonchere, a successful racehorse in the 1870s. It was initially run at Longchamp over 1,400 metres, and it used to be open to horses aged three or older.

The Prix de La Jonchere was abandoned throughout World War I, with no running from 1915 to 1918. It was held at Le Tremblay for a period during World War II, from 1943 to 1945. Its distance was extended to 1,500 metres in 1966, and it increased to 1,600 metres in 1971. The event was restricted to three-year-olds in 1972.

The race continued to be staged at Longchamp until 1986. For several years thereafter it took place at Chantilly (1987–89, 1991, 1993), Saint-Cloud (1990, 1992) and Maisons-Laffitte (1994). It returned to Longchamp in 1995, and it was transferred to Chantilly in 1997.

In 2006 the event was renamed in memory of Paul de Moussac (1924–1995), a leading racehorse owner and breeder.
