2027 Grand Prix de Paris Preview
Scheduled to take place in July of each year at the Longchamp Racecourse is the Grand Prix de Paris, a Group 1 horse race that is open only to colts and fillies who are aged three years old. The race is run over 1m4f (2,400m) and takes place on Bastille Day, a French national holiday.
The race was originally run over one mile and five furlongs and was created for the best three-year-olds in France to compete against the rest of the world. Andre Fabre has a good record in the race, as does the Irish raider Aidan O'Brien.
