At the Juddmonte, jockeys took centre stage!
The magic of racing is all down to the horses and their jockeys. In order to pay homage to the stars of the turf at the Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris, the jockeys were treated like veritable celebrities: they took to the stage to be introduced to the crowds and gave live interviews and autograph signings. Throngs of fans were thrilled to meet these heroes of the racing world!
Let’s not forget the kids...
Various areas around the racecourse were reserved especially for children, giving them an unforgettable day out at the races with plenty of excitement and laughter!

The popular French game “Petits-Chevaux” came to life as racegoers were invited to play with giant pieces on a giant board. Nobody could resist throwing the dice and moving their horses around the colourful “racetrack”!
“COME AND MEET THE RACING FAMILY”
This fun-filled, informative activity gave kids an insight into the professions of
the racing world.
Children were invited to follow a circuit, taking part in a different activity for each member of the racing “family”: Jockey, Trainer, Owner and Breeder. Once they had completed all four activities, they were awarded a well-deserved “Perfect Jockey” certificate.
Merry-go-round (PassKid): Children were invited to take a turn on this
traditional merry-go-round for a true taste of the fairground.
Pony rides (PassKid): Our docile ponies guided youngsters on their first
tentative steps towards becoming a champion jockey.
