EXPERIENCE THE THRILL OF FRENCH RACING
Exceptional Prize Money & Owner Premiums
France offers one of the most attractive financial models in European racing, with more than €293 million distributed in prize money and owner premiums in 2024.
Combined with comparatively moderate training and maintenance costs, this creates one of the most favourable prize money-to-expense ratios per runner in Europe, offering owners a model that is both sustainable and financially rewarding.
In addition, France’s lucrative owner premium system provides significant bonuses on top of prize money, with premiums of up to 80% on the Flat for French-bred 2- and 3-year-olds, offering strong financial incentives throughout a horse’s career.
A WORLD-CLASS RACING NATION
France is one of Europe’s leading horse racing countries, renowned for its exceptional training infrastructure, competitive racing programme, and rich racing heritage.
With more than 130 racecourses across the country, owners can compete at every level, from iconic international venues such as ParisLongchamp, Chantilly and Deauville to a strong network of well-supported provincial tracks.
Supported by excellent prize money, attractive owner premiums and year-round racing opportunities, France offers one of the most rewarding and accessible racing environments in Europe.
