Prix Hocquart
Sardanapale (1911–1934) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed considerable talent as a juvenile, winning the Prix Yacowlef, Prix Morny and Prix de Seine-et-Oise. In the following year, he recovered from two defeats by La Farina to establish himself as the best racehorse in Europe with a string of victories which included the Prix Hocquart, Prix d'Hédouville, Prix du Jockey Club, Grand Prix de Paris, Prix de President de la Republique and Prix Eugène Adam before his racing career was ended by the outbreak of the First World War. He has been rated one of the best horses ever to be trained in France.
