2027 Grosser Preis von Baden Preview
The Grosser Preis von Baden was established in 1858, when it was contested over a much longer trip than it is today. It was originally run over a distance of close to two miles (3,200m) when first created; that distance has gradually decreased over the years, and today it is run over one and a half miles (2,400m).
The race is a Group 1 event that takes place at the Baden-Baden racecourse in Germany, held in September of each year. The race is highly regarded and is considered an important race for runners heading to the Prix de L´Arc de Triomphe.
It has been popular for British raiders too; Ian Balding won it three times, and the likes of John Gosden, Sir Michael Stoute, Michael Jarvis (x2), Clive Brittain (x2), and Charley Appleby (x2) have all tasted success here.
