On Tuesday 3 May, in Paris, Longines and France Galop unveiled the program of the 167^th edition of the Prix de Diane Longines, which takes over the “Garden Party” theme, which was a great success last year. Thus, on Sunday 19 June, nine races will unroll at the Chantilly recourse; and the most expected, which lends its name to the raceday and happens to be the world's top race for fillies, will crown the best filly. 

Sylvie Hoarau, one of the two members of the music band Brigitte, guest stars of the 167^th Prix de Diane Longines, is wearing the Official Watch of the Prix de Diane Longines, which is a lady model of the Longines DolceVita collection, heir to a tradition where elegance takes the leading role. The timepiece cased in steel, decorated with diamonds and featuring a silver-coloured “flinqué” dial adorned with painted Roman numerals, is set on a red leather bracelet.

Moreover, young jockeys from all over the world and amateur lady riders of the FEGENTRI (International Federation of Gentlemen and Lady Riders) will demonstrate their talent by competing for respectively the Prix Longines Future Racing Stars and Prix de La Reine Marie-Amélie Longines. The development and outreach of equestrian sports are also built on the commitment of future stars and amateurs. Therefore the watch brand Longines strongly supports young athletes of these disciplines and the FEGENTRI by being its Official Partner and Timekeeper. Besides, the brand is also lending its name to the men's and women's championships organised by the federation, as well as the rankings of the participants: the Longines World FEGENTRI Champion Rankings for Lady Riders and Gentlemen Riders.

The riders starting orders of the three above mentioned races shall be determined by drawing lots, which will take place on Friday 17 June. 

Sylvie Hoarau, one of the two members of the music band Brigitte, guest stars of the 167^th Prix de Diane Longines, is posing next to the Trophy of the Prix de Diane Longines, which will be awarded along with elegant Longines timepieces to the jockey, owner and trainer of the one who will win the world’s top race for fillies, on 19 June at the Chantilly Racecourse, and the Official Watch of the event, a Longines DolceVita model in steel and diamonds with a red leather bracelet, exhibited during the Prix de Diane Longines press conference in Paris.

At the Prix de Diane Longines, where horseracing experts have been meeting up with fashionistas wearing spectacular hats for more than 170 years, time also becomes a symbol of precision, elegance and tradition – the three key-values of the watch brand Longines. This year, the Official Watch of the event will be the lady Longines DolceVita watch of the eponymous collection, heir to a tradition where elegance takes the leading role. The timepiece cased in steel, decorated with diamonds and featuring a silver-coloured “flinqué” dial adorned with painted Roman numerals, is set on a red leather bracelet. The "Mademoiselle Diane par Longines" award will be presented by Asian actor and Longines Ambassador of Elegance Eddie Peng to the woman who will have perfectly matched her outfit to the Official Watch.

The Swiss watchmaker is for the sixth time the Official Partner, Timekeeper and Watch of the Prix de Diane Longines. This association is part of its partnership with France Galop, which was renewed last year. Under this  partnership, Longines is the Official Timekeeper for the racing days organized at the Chantilly, Deauville and Longchamp racetracks, including the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and the Prix du Jockey Club .
