Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe | Singapore Pools

One of the biggest sporting events in the world at the rarefied surroundings of ParisLongchamp racecourse, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is a race of the very highest quality and the crowning of a legend. It is also the richest Group 1 flat horse race in France with a prizemoney of $5 million Euros. Ever since the first race was run in 1920, it has always attracted the best horses and finest jockeys from over the world to compete in this event. Drama and adrenalin are the order of the day at an event that brings together the best thoroughbreds in flat racing and the world’s leading jockeys.

The race is open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older and will be run over the distance of 2,400 metres at the ParisLongchamp racecourse on Sunday, 1 October 2023. Popularly referred to as the "Arc", its roll of honour features many highly acclaimed horses, and its winners are often crowned as World Champions.

A slogan of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, first used on a promotional poster in 2003, describes the event as "Ce n'est pas une course, c'est un monument" – "It's not a race, it's a monument".

HISTORY

The Société d'Encouragement, a former governing body of French racing, had initially restricted its races to thoroughbreds born and bred in France. In 1863, it launched the Grand Prix de Paris, an event designed to bring together the best three-year-olds from any country. Thirty years later it introduced the Prix du Conseil Municipal, an international race for the leading horses of different age groups. It was run over 2,400 metres in October, with weights determined by a horse's previous performances.

The creation of a third such race was proposed at a committee meeting on 24 January 1920. The new event would complement the Grand Prix de Paris and serve as a showcase for French thoroughbred breeding. It would have similar characteristics to the Prix du Conseil Municipal, but each horse would compete on equal terms, unpenalised for previous victories.

Coming in the wake of World War I, it was decided that the race would be named after the Arc de Triomphe, a famous monument which had been the scene of a victory parade by the Allies in 1919. The chosen title had been previously assigned to a minor event at Longchamp. Another suggested title was the "Prix de la Victoire".
