Why race in France?
Prize money in French racing is among the highest in the world; the average purse in a flat race in France is €20,800 , compared with €17,750 in Britain and €13,750 in the United States. Training costs in France are less than half the average in Britain and are comparable to costs in the United States.
In addition, French racing offers premiums to French-bred horses that add 75 percent to prize money for two-year-olds, 63 percent for three-year-olds and 48 percent for four-year-olds and older. As an owner, France offers you a strong chance to recoup your investment.
Another factor to consider: France does not allow any medication in a horse’s system on race day. That means lower vet bills for owners and sound, drug-free horses.
