The Prix Texanita is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1,100 metres (about 5½ furlongs) at Maisons-Laffitte in May.

History[edit]

The event is named after Texanita, a successful French-trained sprinter in the 1960s. It was established in 2013, and initially held Listed status.[2]

The Prix Texanita was promoted to Group 3 level in 2015. The promotion was part of a restructured programme for three-year-old sprinters in Europe.[3]
