About the race
The Qatar Prix du Moulin de Longchamp is a Group 1 race over 1,600 metres on turf at ParisLongchamp for three-year-olds and upwards, run by France Galop in early September. France Galop says it was first run in 1957, the centenary of Longchamp racecourse, and has used the main course since 1987. For 2025 its prize money rose from EUR 450,000 to EUR 800,000, funded by the owners’ fund, and it moved onto the Qatar Arc Trials card.
