2027 Prix Marcel Boussac Preview
Run in October of each year at the Longchamp racecourse is the Prix Marcel Boussac, a race that features on the same day as the Arc. The race is a Group One that is open to fillies only who are two years old and is contested over a trip of one mile.
Established in 1969, the race was originally known as the Critérium des Pouliches and is France's only G1 that is restricted to juvenile fillies. The 2016 and 2017 renewals were held at the Chantilly Racecourse due to the redevelopment of Longchamp.
