A dream come true
Since 1843, the Prix de Diane Longines has stood out as one of the high points of the racing calendar, blending tradition, prestige and performance.
This legendary race is reserved for 3-year-old fillies who are ready to sign their name in racing history. It is a veritable sporting challenge, where speed, endurance and strategy combine for an ever more spectacular finish.
On this legendary course, their whole career, their whole future is at stake, and a dream can come true for the winning filly.
The birth of a queen
Before dazzling on the course at Chantilly, every filly entered into the race has followed a carefully laid-out career path.
Born from bloodlines selected for their physical and mental qualities, they are guided by their owners, trainers, lads and jockeys, who watch over every stage of their preparation and development.
The Prix de Diane Longines is part of the Arc Races circuit, a selection of the finest French races whose winners receive a true golden ticket – a Wild Card entry to the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, the most iconic race in world flat racing.
Through eight prestigious races, France Galop offers a captivating journey leading up to the Arc, with direct entry to the “World Championship of Thoroughbreds” and reimbursement of the race entry fees at stake. A unique initiative designed to keep the excitement building throughout the season.
The adventure begins… On the road to the Arc!
The world’s greatest filly race has always been held in the birthplace of Chantilly racing. It all began in Chantilly!
In 1833, Prince Lobanoff and Messrs de Normandie, d’Hédouville, de Wagram and de Plaisance were on their way to a hunt.
On the way, they crossed a vast plain on horseback, stretching out in front of the Château de Chantilly and its Grandes Écuries. They noted the suppleness of the terrain and tested it in a friendly race won by Mr de Normandie, the future president of the Jockey Club.
These men had been seduced by English racing and were looking in vain for the ideal site to set up a racecourse capable of rivalling those in England. M de Normandie managed to secure the support of the Duc d’Orléans – one of Louis-Philippe’s sons and also a racing enthusiast – and they agreed to organise a race meeting the following spring. The Chantilly racecourse and its unique setting were launched!
Not far from the racecourse, the forest of Chantilly is home to the largest training centre dedicated to racehorses. Every morning, horses and trainers go out to exercise on the tracks maintained by France Galop.
This is where the champions prepare for competition.

Longines, the “timepiece for major international races”
The Swiss watch brand Longines has been involved in the world of sport since 1878. It has put its long expertise in equestrian timing at the service of the Chantilly, Deauville and Longchamp racecourses as official timekeeper. The Prix de Diane Longines contested in June at the Chantilly racecourse is the symbol of this association of elegance, performance and precision. The Prix de l’Opéra, a female championship contested as part of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe weekend, is also part of the Longines repertoire.
Longines is also the partner of the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities and thus sponsors the international rankings for thoroughbreds and that of jockeys.
Through these numerous partnerships, Longines is associated with the biggest horse racing events in the Globe and fully deserves the title of “racing timepiece”.
