Grand Prix d'Automne

The Grand Prix d'Automne is a Group 1 hurdle race in France which is open to horses aged five years or older.

It is run at Auteuil over a distance of 4,800 metres (about 3 miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November.

The race was first run in 1929 as an autumn counterpart to the Grand Prix du Printemps, a handicap race run at the same course in spring.

The Grand Prix d'Automne, however, was a weight-for-age event until becoming a handicap in 1940 before reverting to weight-for-age in 1990.

The race was open to four-year-olds until 1989.
