THE BIGGEST FILLIES RACE IN THE WORLD

1 Channel wins the 2019 Prix de Diane Longines

CHANNEL WINS THE 2019 PRIX DE DIANE LONGINES!

It was the French filly Channel (Nathaniel) who came out on top in the 170th running of the Prix de Diane Longines, this Sunday at Chantilly.

Owner Samuel De Barros’ filly, trained in Chantilly by Francis-Henri Graffard and ridden by Pierre-Charles Boudot gamely held off the strong attack of Commes (Le Havre), one of four runners in the race trained by Jean-Claude Rouget. Grand Glory closed strongly to take third place under Gérald Mossé, who himself has won this race on five occasions.

Etoile (Siyouni) was placed fourth ahead of Cala Tarida (Garswood) trained by Frédéric Rossi near Marseilles. The favourite for the race, Siyarafina (Pivotal), owned by His Highness the Aga Khan, only managed to take sixth place.

It is a first victory in the Prix de Diane Longines for Pierre-Charles Boudot, Francis-Henri Graffard and Samuel De Barros, owner of Channel. And what’s more! Samuel de Barros, whose wife, Elodie Mangeard de Barros comes from a stud renowned for producing trotters, has only one racehorse in training!

----

Le Prix de Diane Longines is a Group 1 race, the highest level in horse racing, and is open to fillies only.

Run over a distance of 10 and a half furlongs and offering a purse of one million euros, 571,400 euros of which go to the winner, it crowns the season’s champion three-year-old filly.

The race has produced many great horses over the years, and as in previous seasons, the 2019 winner will have every chance of lining up in the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, held later in the year at ParisLongchamp.

Longines is also showcasing the best young jockeys from over ten countries in the Prix Longines Future Racing Stars.

Run over 9 furlongs at Chantilly, it is a race known for revealing the champion horses of tomorrow, while the Championnat du Monde Longines Fegentri crowns the best rider season after season.

5 An outstanding concert in 2019

AN AMAZING CONCERT

Clara Luciani, named “On-stage Revelation” at the 2019 Victoires de la Musique, will perform a concert at the Prix de Diane Longines!

This young brunette has a deep, self-assured voice. She wrote all the songs for her first album, whose 14 tunes shoot into your heart like flaming arrows. Clara Luciani has a talent for song writing, translating her personal story into a universal value.

Her writing is akin to that of the passionate singers she grew up listening to, from Françoise Hardy, Barbara, Blondie and Nico right up to Lana del Rey.

Oscillating between cat-like and passionate (Eddy, Monstre d’Amour) and introspective and elusive (Les Fleurs, Dors, On ne Meurt pas d’Amour, Mon ombre), feminine and feminist (La Grenade, Drôle d’Epoque, Nue) and vindictive and vehement (La Dernière Fois, Comme toi), this young singer-songwriter certainly has character.

Clara Luciani has been working her socks off on the road for the last two years, performing more than 200 concerts, which were all sold out.
Her nomination for the 2019 Victoires de la Musique, in the “On-stage Revelation” category, was a just reward for all her hard work.

Though she refuses to be a woman of her time, she is certainly a modern woman. After following in her elders’ footsteps, Clara Luciani is now reaching the top of her game and is ready to make her mark on new French pop. Now, that will be a real victory for music…

Zhao Liyng: Longines Ambassador of Elegance

She will also present the Record collection’s newest model to the winner of the “Mademoiselle Diane par Longines” elegance contest.

This degree of excellence deserves recognition.
As a mark of their high precision, all of the pieces in the Record collection have been certified as “chronometers” by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute).

Equipped with a self-winding mechanical movement, each piece has been checked by this neutral and independent organisation and they all have the “CHRONOMETER” certification stamped on their dial.

This magnificent sight is orchestrated by 110 trainers and 1,000 exercise riders.

The château is home to the Condé Museum and its collection of paintings, among which are masterpieces by Raphaël, Botticelli, Clouet, Poussin, Watteau, Ingres, Delacroix. Inside the château, the Cabinet des Livres library boasts 13,000 books, including the world’s most precious manuscript: Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry (15th century)!

The estate’s 115 hectares of grounds are unique thanks to the hugely diverse gardens. The Grandes Écuries, a masterpiece of 18th century architecture, are among the most luxurious stables in the world.
