48H de l'Obstacle

Jump races are some of the most exciting events on the horse-racing calendar. Every year, the Hippodrome d’Auteuil hosts top-level events for fans to enjoy.

Jumps weekend will feature a number of spectacular races, including the Prix Serge Landon – Autumn Grand Prix (4,800 metres, 16 hurdles) and the Prix La Haye Jousselin (5,500 metres, 22 obstacles).

HURDLES RACES
Hurdles races involve at least seven hurdles to be cleared. These seven hurdles are identical, with each being 1.10 metres in height.

STEEPLECHASE RACES
This discipline features different obstacles (fences and ditches) throughout the course. Steeplechase obstacles are higher and more difficult to clear than the fences in hurdles races. They vary from one race to another and from one racetrack to another.
