The Prix Omnium II is a Listed flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings . It is run over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile) at Saint-Cloud in late March or early April.
History
The event was originally called the Prix de Saint-Cloud. The first running was staged during the venue's inaugural fixture in 1901.[ 2] It replaced the Prix de Vincennes, a similar race at Vincennes .[ 3] It was initially contested over 2,100 metres.[ 4]
The Prix de Saint-Cloud was cut to 2,000 metres in 1904.[ 5] It was shortened to 1,600 metres after World War I.[ 6] It continued with its original title until 1927.[ 7]
The race was renamed in honour of Omnium II , a successful racehorse and sire, in 1928.[ 8] It was run over 2,100 metres in 1929. From this point it was held on the same day as the Prix La Camargo, the equivalent race for fillies.[ 9] It reverted to 1,600 metres in 1930.[ 10]
The Prix Omnium II was held at Longchamp in 1940.[ 11] It took place at Auteuil from 1941 to 1944.[ 12]
The event can serve as a trial for the Poule d'Essai des Poulains . The last horse to win both races was Silver Frost in 2009.
