French Horse Racing Hall of Fame To Be Launched At Deauville 

The late Aga Khan IV, Criquette Head, Olivier Peslier and Docteur de Ballon will be inducted into the French Horse Racing Hall Of Fame on Saturday, August 16 during a ceremony at Deauville Racecourse:

Jour de Galop will host the first induction ceremony that has been inspired by major international sports disciplines. 

The aim of the Hall Of Fame is to celebrate the racing figures – equine and human – of the French racing industry. 

Jour de Galop's Mayeul Caire said, “This project was designed to honor the great actors of Flat and jump racing who have made their mark on French soil – whether they are French or foreign. The idea is that their entry into the Hall of Fame is a 'Group 1-level' reward, a recognition both public and private, a source of pride, an indelible mark… and that each new inductee experiences a unique moment on their special day.”
