A ribbon will be cut at the racecourse entrance at 11.30am to mark the official opening of the Meeting de Deauville Barrière!

Head to the racecourse entrance at 11.30am.

Prix Rothschild

An outstanding sprint race on Deauville’s stunning home straight!

The Meeting de Deauville Barrière gets off to a strong start with the Prix Rothschild. This is one of the high points of this month of racing action at Deauville.

This Group 1 race, the highest standard of horse race, is reserved for mares aged 3 and over. It is run over a mile distance, making it ideal for speed.
This sprint is especially spectacular to watch because the field thunders down the home straight, just under the spectators’ noses, at speeds of over 60km/h!

Deauville-La Touques racecourse is well known for sprint races down its straight track.

THURSDAY 4TH AUGUST 2022

First Thursday evening “Guinguette” at the racecourse

SUNDAY 7TH AUGUST 2022

LARC Prix Maurice de Gheest

A rare confrontation between sprinters and milers.

This is one of the most hotly-anticipated races at the Meeting de Deauville Barrière, as it is one of very few races run over the intermediate distance of 6 ½ furlongs.

Because of its unusual distance, this race, which is run on the straight track, gives rise to an interesting and very rare confrontation between sprinters – horses that run best over a distance of 5 or 6 furlongs – and milers, whose favourite distance is a mile.

This sprint always turns out to be spectacular!

TUESDAY 9TH AUGUST 2022

Secours Populaire Day

Every year, the Meeting de Deauville Barrière invites a hundred or so disadvantaged children to the racecourse to enjoy a special day out courtesy of the Secours Populaire. Since these children are unable to go away on holiday, this gives them a chance to enjoy a fun day out and revel in the excitement of the races with their new friends. They can also take advantage of the superb entertainment on offer.

In 2022, a handful of these children will have the opportunity to learn even more about the racing world by watching the gallops on the racecourse in the morning!

An immersive experience for guaranteed smiles all round!

Two renowned events reserved for purebred Arabs

The day’s racing action includes two Group 1 races – the highest standard of horse race – for purebred Arabs: the Al Rayyan Cup and the Doha Cup.

THURSDAY 11TH AUGUST 2022

Longines Equestrian Challenge Normandy

A new edition of the Longines Equestrian Challenge Normandy. This event brings together teams made up of a racing jockey and a showjumper, who go head-to-head in an interdisciplinary competition.

The following day, on the evening of Friday 12th August, the jockeys, coached by their show jumping partner, tackle a show jumping course at the Pôle International du Cheval Longines-Deauville.
