History

The event was established in 1894, and it was originally called the Prix de la Reine Marguerite.[1] It was initially contested by colts and fillies over 2,000 metres, and had prize money of 20,000 francs.[2] The inaugural running was won by Sesame.

The race continued with its original title until 1900,[3] and was renamed the Prix Juigné in 1901.[4] It was named in memory of Gustave de Juigné, a member of the Société d'Encouragement.

The distance of the race was extended to 2,100 metres in 1925.[5] Its prize money increased throughout the 1920s, reaching 100,000 francs in 1929.[6] It was held at Auteuil in 1943,[7] and Maisons-Laffitte in 1944.[8] Its prize was 300,000 francs on both occasions.

During the post-war period, the Prix Juigné was contested by several notable horses. The runner-up in 1955, Phil Drake, subsequently won that year's Epsom Derby.

The event was closed to fillies and shortened to 2,000 metres in 1990. It was restored to 2,100 metres in 2017.
