The Prix Jacques Le Marois is a Group 1 race run under Weight For Age conditions for three year olds and up colts and fillies at Deauville conducted by France Galop.

The Prix Jacques Le Marois is run over 1600m. It was first run in 1921 and was won by Guerriere.

This is a race for the premium milers of Europe. It was for three year olds from the beginning but in 1952 opened to all comers.

It was named after Jacques Le Marois who was President of the Deauville race course committee.

The race is sponsored by a leading stud Fresnay-le-Buffard so has been known as the Prix Du Haras De Fresnay-Le-Buffard Jacques Le Marois.

The race was not run in 1940 during WWII and a few times afterwards. In those war years it was run at Maisons-Laffitte and Longchamp.

In the last decade, 6 three year olds have won the Prix Jacques Le Marois.

Four horses Miesque, Spinning World, Palace Pier and Inspiral are multiple winners.

In her short but brilliant career, the last win of Alpha Centauri was in the 2018 Le Marois when she won by panels over some of Europe's best milers.

In a high quality field in 2020, the three Royal Ascot G1 mile winners ran the trifecta (Palace Pier/Alpine Star/Circus Maximus).

Palace Pier would come back and defeat a great field of milers to maintain his unbeaten 2021 to that time.

Frankie Dettori has ridden the winner 8 times while Francois Boutin and Andre Fabre have trained most winners with seven. Dettori's included the last four before his retirement.

The last non-French winner was Charyn in 2024 for Roger Varian.

The Prix Jacques Le Marois was worth €1,000,000 in 2024.
