The Prix Berteux was a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbreds. It was run at various tracks over a distance of 3,000 metres (about 1⅞ miles), and it was scheduled to take place each year in June or July. History During the 19th century, the event was staged at Longchamp as the Prix de la Néva. It usually took place on the day before the Grand Prix de Paris. For a period it was contested over 2,900 metres, and it was extended to 3,000 metres in 1889. The race continued as the Prix de la Néva until 1913. It was renamed in honour of Count de Berteux, a successful racehorse owner, in 1914. The Prix Berteux was held at Maisons-Laffitte in 1943, and Auteuil in 1944. It was subsequently transferred to Chantilly. The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the event was given Group 3 status. The venue of the Prix Berteux changed frequently in the 1990s. It had brief spells at Longchamp (1991–92), Maisons-Laffitte (1993–94, 3,100 metres) and Deauville (1995). It was held at Maisons-Laffitte again in 1996, and returned to Chantilly in 1997. The event was switched to Vichy in 2001, and to Deauville in 2003. It was discontinued in 2004.
