The trophy won by Lester Piggott for winning the Grand Criterium on 'Breton' at Longchamp in 1969, in the form of a hallmarked English silver salver by Asprey of London, inscribed ''BRETON'', GRAND CRITERIUM, 1969, diameter 36cm., 14in. Lester won the Grand Criterium (now re-named the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere) on three occasions between 1967 and 1970 on Sir Ivor, Breton and My Swallow. This trophy is for Breton's victory, who was France's top two-year-old of 1969. Breton was by the 1963 Derby winner Relko out of La Melba. He also won the Prix de la Salamandre. The colt was owned by P. Butler and trained by Mick Bartholomew at Chantilly.
