The Prix Imprudence is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run over a distance of 1,400 metres (about 7 furlongs) at Maisons-Laffitte in April.
History[]
The event is named after Imprudence, a successful French-trained filly whose victories included three Classics in 1947. It was established in 1949, and was originally contested over a mile. It was cut to its present length in 1961.
For a period the Prix Imprudence held Listed status. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2009. It is currently staged on the same day as the Prix Djebel, the equivalent race for colts.
The Prix Imprudence can serve as a trial for various fillies' Classics in Europe. The last winner to achieve victory in the 1,000 Guineas was Natagora in 2008 and the last to win the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches was Ervedya in 2015.
