Prix Lupin

The Prix Lupin was a Group 1 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and fillies.

It was cancelled due to the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, and was renamed the Grande Poule des Produits in 1872.

The race was one of several trials for the Prix du Jockey Club collectively known as the Poules des Produits.

Unlike those races, the Grande Poule des Produits had no restrictions based on the nationality of a horse's sire or dam.

The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Prix Lupin was classed at Group 1 level.
