The Prix Juigné is a flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings. It is run over a distance of 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles) at Longchamp in April. It is restricted to horses which have not raced previously.
History
The event was established in 1894, and it was originally called the Prix de la Reine Marguerite.[1] It was initially contested by colts and fillies over 2,000 metres, and had prize money of 20,000 francs.[2] The inaugural running was won by Sesame.
The race continued with its original title until 1900,[3] and was renamed the Prix Juigné in 1901.[4] It was named in memory of Gustave de Juigné, a member of the Société d’Encouragement.
The distance of the race was extended to 2,100 metres in 1925.[5] Its prize money increased throughout the 1920s, reaching 100,000 francs in 1929.[6] It was held at Auteuil in 1943,[7] and Maisons-Laffitte in 1944.[8] Its prize was 300,000 francs on both occasions.
During the post-war period, the Prix Juigné was contested by several notable horses. The runner-up in 1955, Phil Drake, subsequently won that year's Epsom Derby.
The event was closed to fillies and shortened to 2,000 metres in 1990.
