The Prix de Saint-Georges is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 1,000 metres (about 5 furlongs) at Longchamp in May. ==History== The event is named after Haras de Saint-Georges, a stud farm near Moulins owned by Emmanuel d'Harcourt (1844–1928). The race was established in 1929, and the first running was won by Clarawood. The Prix de Saint-Georges was cancelled in 1940, and held at Maisons-Laffitte from 1943 to 1945. It was staged at Chantilly in 1968. The present race grading system was introduced in 1971, and the Prix de Saint-Georges was subsequently given Group 3 status. It is currently one of four open-age 1,000-metre Group races in France. The others are the Prix du Gros Chêne, the Prix du Petit Couvert and the Prix de l'Abbaye. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prix de Saint-Georges」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
