The Prix Vermeille is a
Group 1
flat
horse race in France open to
thoroughbred
fillies and
mares aged three years or older. It is run at
Longchamp over a distance of 2,400 metres (about 1½ miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in September.
History
The event is named after a filly foaled in 1853. She was initially known as Merveille, but was later renamed Vermeille. She did not have a remarkable racing career, but was highly successful as a broodmare.
The Prix Vermeille was established in 1897, and was originally restricted to fillies aged three. Due to World War I, it was abandoned from 1914 to 1918.
The event was cancelled twice during World War II, in 1939 and 1940. It was temporarily switched to
Le Tremblay in 1943 and 1944.
The race was opened to four-year-old fillies in 2004, and to older mares in 2006.
Preceded by the
Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and the
Prix de Diane , the Prix Vermeille is the final leg of France's fillies'
Triple Crown . The feat of winning all three has been achieved by six horses, most recently
Zarkava in 2008.
The Prix Vermeille is held three weeks before the
Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe , and it sometimes serves as a trial for that event. The 2013 winner,
Treve was the sixth horse to win both races in the same year.
