France GALOP: HEART-FLUTTERING EXCITEMENT!

KEEPING HORSE RACING ALIVE

At France Galop, our mission is simple: to organise and monitor horse races in France in order to keep the horse racing industry alive.

France Galop is an association with a public service mission. It organises and regulates the horse races held in France in order to improve the breeding of flat and jumps racehorses by promoting racehorse breeding, ownership and training.

France Galop is under the administrative supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of the Budget and Ministry of the Interieur.

Its primary missions are to: set the racing calendar, ensure the integrity of the races, set an example in the fight against doping, contribute to racehorse welfare, run the five largest national racecourses (Auteuil, Chantilly, Deauville, ParisLongchamp and Saint-Cloud), and organise large-scale events on these sites, such as the Prix de Diane Longines, Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris and Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
