The Prix Dollar is a Group 2 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Longchamp over a distance of 1,950 metres (about 1 mile and 1¾ furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late September or early October.

History The event is named after Dollar, a successful racehorse and sire in the 19th century. It was established in 1905, and was initially contested over 3,500 metres in the autumn. It was moved to the spring and cut to 2,200 metres in 1909. It was abandoned throughout World War I, with no running from 1915 to 1918.

In 1934, the race was titled the Prix du Centenaire to commemorate the centenary of the sport's main governing body at that time, the Société d'Encouragement. The Prix du Centenaire was a 2,100-metre handicap with a prize of 318,600 francs.

The Prix Dollar was cancelled from 1940 to 1943 because of World War II. It was staged at Le Tremblay with a distance of 2,150 metres in 1944 and 1945. For a period it was restricted to horses aged four or older.

The race was shortened to 2,000 metres in 1957, and extended to 2,250 metres in 1958. It reverted to 2,000 metres in 1960, and was held at Chantilly in 1965 and 1966. A new distance of 1,950 metres was introduced in 1969.

The Prix Dollar was run at Chantilly's Prix du Jockey Club meeting over 2,000 metres in 1986. It was switched to Longchamp's late September fixture in 1987. It was opened to three-year-olds and moved to the Saturday of Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe weekend in 1988. The latter race is traditionally held on the first Sunday of October.
