History
The event was established in 1892, and it was originally called the Omnium de Deux Ans. Its distance was initially 1,100 metres, and it was extended to 1,200 metres in 1903.

It reverted to 1,100 metres in 1907, and from this point juveniles could be raced earlier in the year.The Omnium de Deux Ans was the country's richest race for two-year-olds until 1914, ahead of both the Prix Morny
