Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Prix Noailles is a Group 2 flat horse race in France which is open to three-year-old Thoroughbred colts and fillies. It is run at Longchamp over a distance of 2,100 metres (about 1 mile and 2 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in April. The event was established in 1878, and it was originally called the Prix du Nabob. It was named after The Nabob, one of the leading sires in France during the preceding two decades. In the early part of its history the race's distance was 2,500 metres. The Prix du Nabob was one of several events which were collectively known as the Poules des Produits. These were the key trials for the Prix du Jockey Club which were introduced by the Soci t d'Encouragement in the 19th century.
