Saint-Cloud, France colts and geldings 1st: €27,500 |} The Prix Omnium II is a Listed flat horse race in France open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and geldings. It is run over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile) at Saint-Cloud in late March or early April.

History

The event was originally called the Prix de Saint-Cloud. The first running was staged during the venue's inaugural fixture in 1901. It replaced the Prix de Vincennes, a similar race at Vincennes. It was initially contested over 2,100 metres.

The Prix de Saint-Cloud was cut to 2,000 metres in 1904. It was shortened to 1,600 metres after World War I. It continued with its original title until 1927.

The race was renamed in honour of Omnium II, a successful racehorse and sire, in 1928. It was run over 2,100 metres in 1929. From this point it was held on the same day as the Prix La Camargo, the equivalent race for fillies. It reverted to 1,600 metres in 1930.

The Prix Omnium II was held at Longchamp in 1940. It took place at Auteuil from 1941 to 1944.

The event can serve as a trial for the Poule d'Essai des Poulains. The last horse to win both races was Silver Frost in 2009.
