Why International Bettors Follow the Prix Chaudenay
The Prix Chaudenay is one of France’s important staying races for three-year-olds and forms part of the major autumn meeting at ParisLongchamp. Its 3000m distance places a strong emphasis on stamina, making it particularly interesting for bettors looking at horses that have already demonstrated their ability over longer distances.
The race also attracts horses from leading French, British and Irish stables, giving international bettors an opportunity to compare runners from different racing jurisdictions. The 2026 field includes nine three-year-olds, with horses trained by leading names such as Aidan O’Brien, André Fabre and Joseph Murtagh represented in the entries.
