Prix Hocquart
Encyclopedia
The Prix Hocquart is a Group 2
flat
horse race
in France
open to three-year-old thoroughbred
colts
and fillies
. It is run at Longchamp over a distance of 2,200 metres (about 1 mile and 3 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in May.
.
The Prix de Longchamp was one of several trials for the Prix du Jockey Club
collectively known as the Poules des Produits. The others (listed by their modern titles) were the Prix Daru
, the Prix Lupin
, the Prix Noailles
and the Prix Greffulhe
. The Prix de Longchamp was restricted to horses whose dams were covered by stallions born and bred in France. The event was funded by entries submitted before a horse's birth, in the year of its conception.
The race was renamed the Prix Hocquart in 1885. This was in memory of Louis Hocquart de Turtot (1823–1884), a founder member of the board of French horse racing.
The Prix Hocquart was cut to 2,400 metres in 1902. It was abandoned throughout World War I, with no running from 1915 to 1919. It was cancelled once during World War II, in 1940. It was contested over 2,300 metres at Le Tremblay
from 1943 to 1945.
The event was staged at Chantilly
from 1997 to 2000, and its distance during this period was 2,200 metres. This became the race's regular distance in 2005.
Twenty-seven winners of the Prix Hocquart have achieved victory in the Prix du Jockey Club. The first was Patricien in 1867, and the most recent was Bering in 1986.
