The Critérium International is a Group 1 flat horse race in France open to two-year-old thoroughbred colts and fillies.
It is run at Saint-Cloud over a distance of 1,600 metres (1 mile), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November.
[1] The event was established at Saint-Cloud in 2001, when it was introduced as part of a restructured program for juveniles in France and replaced the Prix de la Salamandre which was discontinued in 2000.
[3] The distance returned to 1,600 metres in 2020 as part of a two-year trial.
The current version of the Critérium International often features horses which ran previously in the Prix des Chênes or the Prix Thomas Bryon.
