The Prix Greffulhe is a Group2 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old horses. It is run over a distance of 2,000metres (about 1¼miles) at Saint-Cloud in May.

History

The event is named in memory of Henri Greffulhe (1815–1879), a long-serving member of the Société d'Encouragement. It was established in 1882, and was originally run at Longchamp over 2,100metres.

The Prix Greffulhe 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 Hocquart and the Prix Noailles. The Prix Greffulhe was restricted to the colts and fillies born and bred in France. It was funded by entries submitted before a horse's birth, in the year of conception.

The race was abandoned throughout World WarI, with no running from 1915 to 1919. It was contested at Le Tremblay over 2,150metres from 1943 to 1945.

The Prix Greffulhe was transferred to Saint-Cloud and shortened to 2,000metres in 2005.

Twenty-three winners of the Prix Greffulhe have achieved victory in the Prix du Jockey Club. The first was Gospodar in 1894, and the most recent was Study of Man in 2018. Two winners, Sea Bird (1965) and Pour Moi (2011), subsequently won The Derby.

The Prix Greffulhe, which was previously restricted to colts and fillies, was opened to geldings from the 2020 running.
