The Prix Yacowlef is a Listed flat horse race in France open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. Since 2016, it is run each November at Chantilly Racecourse over a distance of 1,000 metres (about 5 furlongs).
The event was originally run at Deauville Racecourse and restricted to previously unraced horses. For a period its distance was 1,000 metres, and it was extended to 1,200 metres in 1987.
The Prix Yacowlef was formerly held in early August. It was switched to July and reverted to 1,000 metres in 2005. From 2016 the race moved to its current date and venue.
