bonuses = The Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, sometimes referred to as the French 1,000 Guineas, is a Group 1 flat horse race inFrance open to three-year-oldthoroughbred fillies. It is run over a distance of 1,600 metres (approximately 1 mile) atLongchamp Racecourse , and it takes place annually in May.The race is the French equivalent of the English 1,000 Guineas and together with a similar race for colts, the
Poule d'Essai des Poulains , it was first run in 1883. Prior to this there had been a single race for both colts and fillies, the Poule d'Essai, which was first run in 1840 at the Champ de Mars, moving to Longchamp in 1857. In forty runnings, the Poule d'Essai was won by a filly on ten occasions.Not run from 1915 to 1918 due to
World War I , the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches was also disrupted duringWorld War II . With no racing in France in the spring of 1940, a substitute race took place in October combining both the "Poulains" and "Pouliches". This race, the Prix d'Essai, was held at Auteuil and won by the coltDjebel . In 1943 the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches was transferred to Tremblay and for the following two years it was run at Maisons-Laffitte, returning to Longchamp in 1946.The first foreign trained winner of the race was
Culture Vulture in 1992, trained inEngland byPaul Cole .Records
