Racing career

Raced at age three from a base in France, Champs Elysees had his best results in Conditions races with a second in the Prix Daphnis and the Prix du Prince d'Orange. At age four, he won the 2007 Prix d'Hedouville at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris and late in the year was sent to race in North America. He won important stakes races in 2008 including the Grade 1 Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes, and capped off his career with his most important win ever in the October 17, 2009 Canadian International Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto.

Retired from racing, Champs Elysees began standing at stud during the 2010 season at Banstead Manor Stud in Suffolk, England.
