2027 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère Preview
Previously, and by some better known as the Grand Criterium, the now-known-as Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere is scheduled to take place in October of each year at the Longchamp racecourse.
This Group 1 race is the oldest race in France, is open to juvenile horses, being open to two-year-old colts and fillies and is contested over a distance of seven furlongs. The 2016 and 2017 renewals were held at the Chantilly Racecourse due to the redevelopment of Longchamp.
The race is run on the same day as the Arc, and the winner of this race receives an invitation to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
