The Prix Foy is a Group 2 race run under Weight For Age conditions for four year olds and up at Longchamp conducted by France Galop.

The Prix Foy is run over 2400m. It was first run in 1955 and was won by Norman.

The race is part of Arc Trial day run three weeks prior to the Arc meeting.

Named after Henri Foy from the Société d'Encouragement, it was run over 2300m for 3yos and above. It was raised to four year olds and up in 1967.

Obtaining Group 2 level in 1998, it has only had two Arc winners do the double in Allez France and Sagace.

Also five horses have won the Prix Foy twice – Allez France, Sagace, Orfevre, Waldgeist and Iresine.

The 2016 and 2017 editions were run at Chantilly as Longchamp was under its long term redevelopment.

Most wins as a jockey is with Yves Saint-Martin with 9 while Andre Fabre has most training wins at 11.

The last non-French winner was Anthony Van Dyck in 2020 for Aidan O'Brien.

Waldgeist won the Prix Foy and then the Arc at his next run in 2019.

Anthony Van Dyck won his first race since the Derby in 2019 in taking the 2020 Prix Foy.

Place Du Carrousel would end up in Australia as a racing and breeding prospect.
