History
editThe event was established in 1904, and it was originally held at Chantilly. Its title refers to four large reservoirs used for watering Chantilly's racetrack. It was initially open to two-year-olds of either gender and contested over 1,400 metres. It was shortened to 1,000 metres in 1906.
The race was transferred to Longchamp and increased to 1,100 metres in 1907. It was extended to 1,400 metres in 1911. It was abandoned throughout World War I, with no running from 1914 to 1918.
A new distance of 1,600 metres was introduced in 1931. Due to World War II, the event was cancelled in 1939 and 1940. It was staged at Le Tremblay in 1942, and was cancelled again in 1944.
The Prix des Réservoirs was cut to 1,400 metres in 1959. It was reduced to 1,300 metres in 1964. It was not run in 1966, and was extended to 1,500 metres in 1968.
The race reverted to 1,600 metres in 1970. It was restricted to fillies in 1972, and was given Group 3 status in 1976.
The Prix des Réservoirs moved to Deauville in 1996.
