The Emirates Poules d’Essai

WHERE IT ALL STARTS!

The Emirates Poule d’Essai des Poulains is the first Group 1 race of the year for three-year-old colts over a distance of one mile.

The French equivalent to England’s 2,000 Guineas, the race is the first major test for the new generation.

A decisive race in terms of its ability to shape the season, it provides an indication as to whether the participants can move up to a mile and two and a half furlongs at the Qatar Prix du Jockey Club or stay at this distance.

A landmark event in the early stages of the season, it is the first chapter in a story that will run until October.

THE FIRST BIG TEST OF THE SEASON

Benchmark race leading up to the Prix de Diane Longines, the Emirates Poule d’Essai des Pouliches is reserved for 3-year-old fillies over a distance of 1600 meters.

As the first major test of the season for fillies, this race is crucial for what follows!
Few winners of the Emirates Poule d’Essai des Pouliches race have managed to achieve the double with the Prix de Diane Longines, making them queens of their generation.
