The Conseil de Paris takes centre stage on a colourful Sunday at Longchamp

This Sunday, Longchamp Racecourse hosts a nine-race card promising a thrilling day of sport. The action kicks off with two exciting contests for 2-year-olds, where fresh talent will look to make their mark, perhaps the stars of tomorrow taking their first steps towards glory.

But the highlight of the afternoon is undoubtedly the Prix du Conseil de Paris (Group 2), a top-class race bringing together contenders from across Europe before they head off to international assignments at the end of the season. Among the seven runners, André Fabre fields no fewer than three, including the much-anticipated Yellow Jersey, unbeaten in three starts. The 3-year-old will need to show he can match strides with his elders, notably Junko, his stable companion and a dual Group 1 winner. A fascinating clash awaits!

On the fillies’ side, the Prix Casimir Delamarre offers a fine showcase for 3-year-old and older mares seeking that coveted black type which opens doors to broodmare careers. And the Prix de Saint-Cyr, the day’s second Listed event, looks just as compelling, 18 fillies lining up over 1,400 metres, all aiming for victory. A big field, tricky draw numbers, and plenty of tactical puzzles await punters, spectators, jockeys, owners, and trainers alike!
