🏇 Prix d’Ispahan – Group 1
📍 Longchamp Racecourse, France
📆 Sunday, 25 May
📏 Distance: 1850 meters (about 9 furlongs)
The Prix d’Ispahan is one of the standout events of the French flat racing calendar. Held at the iconic Longchamp Racecourse, this Group 1 contest brings together elite milers and middle-distance specialists for a stern test over 1850 meters.
Open to horses aged four and older, the race has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century and regularly features top-class performers from across Europe. Its unique distance – slightly longer than a mile but shorter than ten furlongs – demands both speed and stamina, making it a compelling challenge for versatile thoroughbreds.
Winners of the Prix d’Ispahan have often gone on to shine in other major races, and it remains a key early-summer target for many leading trainers and owners.
