THE FIRST CHAPTER

The Emirates Poule d’Essai des Poulains is the first Group 1 outing of the year for 3 year-old colts over a mile.

This landmark test at the outset of the season determines whether a colt will kick on to 10 ½ furlongs in the Prix du Jockey Club at the beginning of June or remain a miler.
It is the first major outing in a season which runs till October…
