Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère

The Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère, formerly the Grand Critérium, is a Group 1 flat horse race in France open to two-year-old thoroughbred colts and fillies.

It is run at Longchamp over a distance of 1,400 metres (about 7 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in early October.

On the second occasion it was substituted by a race at Auteuil, again titled the Critérium des Deux Ans.

The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Grand Critérium was classed at the highest level, Group 1.

The winner now earns an automatic invitation to compete in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
