Prix Saint-Alary
History
The event is named after Evremond de Saint-Alary, a successful racehorse owner and breeder. It was established in 1960, and was originally contested on Longchamp's middle course. It was switched to the main course in 1987.The Prix Saint-Alary serves as a trial for the following month's Prix de Diane. Thirteen fillies have won both races. The first was La Sega in 1962, and the most recent was Gezora in 2025.
In 2024 the race was downgraded to Group Two status by the European Pattern Committee.
