Prix de Flore (horse race)

The Prix de Flore is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbred fillies and mares aged three years or older.

It is run at Saint-Cloud over a distance of 2,100 metres (about 1 mile and 2½ furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late October.

Despite being scheduled for the autumn, the event is named after Flora, a Roman goddess associated with spring.

The Prix de Flore was cancelled twice during World War II, in 1939 and 1940.

The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Prix de Flore was classed at Group 3 level.
