QATAR PRIX DU JOCKEY CLUB

The 185th edition of the legendary Qatar Prix du Jockey Club, a sporting challenge reserved for 3-year-old thoroughbreds, it will take place on Sunday 1st June 2025, in the unique setting of the Chantilly racecourse.

The best thoroughbreds of the new generation of three-year-olds will be looking to add one of the most prestigious titles in Europe to their trophy cabinet.
This supreme sporting achievement can only be aimed for once in a horse’s career!
It is one of the toughest tests of the season and every year serves to crown the fastest thoroughbred.
It is a Group I event – the highest echelon in horse-racing – and was first held in 1836. It is run over a distance of 10 and a half furlongs, with the last 3 furlongs on an upward slope.

One of the oldest events in sport

Since 1836, the Qatar Prix du Jockey Club has crowned the year’s best three-year-old thoroughbred.

The history of the Qatar Prix du Jockey Club first began almost 200 years ago. A group of sportsmen, led by Lord Henry Seymour, a British nobleman and dandy with a passion for equestrianism, were returning to Chantilly Castle by horse when they came across an ideal plain of soft land to realise a dream of theirs and establish a racetrack.

As soon as the grandstands had gone up around the track, one of the next priorities was to set up a race to help select the best horses for siring. And thus it was that the Qatar Prix du Jockey Club was born! The first edition of this famous event was held on 24 April 1836 at Chantilly, making it one of the oldest sporting competitions in the calendar.

The Qatar Prix du Jockey Club led to many more horse races been created in France, but it quickly established itself as a veritable means of selection that is crucial to the strengthening of thoroughbred lines.

From the very early days, the race was won by some of the greatest horses of their generations. It is one of the stand-out events in Group I – the highest level of horse-racing– and since it first began in 1836, it has crowned over 100 stallions who have helped to ensure the sustainability of the breed.

It was originally run over a distance of 12 furlongs before being shortened to ten and a half furlongs in 2005, but is remains a battleground for the toughest competitors!

Find out more about the Hippodrome Ambassador Days

Like its English counterparts Retraining of Racehorses (ROR) on around ten racecourses such as Ascot, Aintree and Goodwood, the Association Au-dessus des Pistes (ADDP) is launching the Racecourse Ambassador Days (JAH): 5 French racecourses responded to join forces with 5 reformed horses, known and recognized former Champions.

The Association Au-Delà Des Pistes is delighted to announce this new initiative aimed at highlighting the versatility of horses retired from gallop racing by showing all the opportunities for reconversion and the kindness that their “racing” entourages or their new owners bring them.

This new system also allows us to highlight the association even more and raise funds during Grand Prix days with optimal visibility thanks to the support of France Galop. A photo of each Champion will be installed and inaugurated at the associated racecourse.
