The Prix Allez France is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbred fillies and mares aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles) at Chantilly in late April or early May.
History
[edit | edit source]The event is named after Allez France, a successful mare trained at Chantilly during the 1970s. Her victories included the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1974.
The Prix Allez France was established in 2004, and the first running was won by Pride. It was one of several races for older fillies introduced that year across Europe. The races were designed as incentives to keep more fillies and mares from being exported or prematurely retired to stud.
