Great Warsaw Race

The Great Warsaw Race (Polish: Wielka Warszawska) is the largest horse race in Poland, held annually at the Służewiec Horse Racing Track in Warsaw, Poland.

Nagroda Wielka Warszawska was held for the first time in 1895, modeled on the French Grand Prix de Paris race.

[1] Until 1904, it had a distance of about 3,200 m. For political reasons, in the years 1905-1912, 1915–1916 and 1919, there were breaks in its play.

In 1913 and in 1917 and 1918 (in Odessa) it was held over a distance of 2,667 m. From 1920, its distance was 2,800 m, and from 1933 - 2,400 m, the same as after World War II in 1946-48 .

The current distance (2600 m) has remained unchanged since 1949.
