Prix Djebel


The Prix Djebel is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings. It is run over a distance of 1,400 metres at Maisons-Laffitte in April.

History

The event is named after Djebel, a successful French racehorse in the early 1940s. It was established in 1949, and the first running was won by Amour Drake.
For a period the Prix Djebel held Listed status. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2010. It is currently staged on the same day as the Prix Imprudence, the equivalent race for fillies.
The Prix Djebel can serve as a trial for various colts' Classics in Europe. The last winner to achieve victory in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains was Style Vendome in 2013. The last to win the 2,000 Guineas was Makfi in 2010.
