|} The Prix Marcel Boussac is a Group 1 flat horse race in France open to two-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run at Longchamp over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile), and it is scheduled to take place each year in early October. It is France's only Group 1 event exclusively for juvenile fillies. The leading participants usually become major contenders for the following year's fillies' Classics. ==History== The event was established in 1969, and it was originally called the Critérium des Pouliches. The best two-year-old fillies had previously competed against male horses in the Grand Critérium. The race was given its present title in 1980, in memory of Marcel Boussac (1889–1980). Boussac was a highly successful owner/breeder, and he served as chairman of the sport's former governing body in France, the Société d'Encouragement. The Prix Marcel Boussac took place on Longchamp's middle course (''moyenne piste'') until 1986. It was switched to the main course (''grande piste'') in 1987. The race is held on the same day as the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The fixture is usually staged on the first Sunday in October. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prix Marcel Boussac」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
