The event was established in 1997, and the inaugural running was won by Posidonas. It initially held Listed status, and was promoted to Group 3 level in 2004. It was previously known as the Arc Trial but rarely served as a trial for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The race lost its Group 3 status when it was removed from the Pattern and Listed race programme in 2023.[1]
