Grand Prix de Paris Tips

Whilst the Grand Prix de Paris is open to both colts and fillies, it is extremely rare for fillies to score victories in this race. Despite the fact that only exceptional fillies are entered into the Grand Prix de Paris, it is worth keeping in mind that no filly has won the race since 1949.
The first of the French Classics, the Prix du Jockey Club, tends to hold the key to how entries will perform in the Grand Prix de Paris. Roughly one in five Prix du Jockey Club winners go on to win at Longchamps, and any horses that show in that race are worthy of serious consideration for the Grand Prix de Paris.
