Press release:
Spring Meeting from 26-29 May 2022 in Baden-Baden - Iffezheim:
Baden Galopp and Wettstar extend cooperation - endowment of the Baden Grand Prix to be increased to 200,000 euros
The betting company Wettstar and Baden Galopp, as operator of the Baden-Baden|Iffezheim racecourse, will continue and intensify their cooperation this year. This concerns in particular the patronage for the most important race of the season in Baden-Baden, the Wettstar Grosser Preis von Baden, which will be held for the 152nd time this year. Riko Luiking, Managing Director of the parent company German Tote, explains: "We are delighted to be a partner of one of the most important races in Europe again this year. Not least the triumph of last year's winner Torquator Tasso in the Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe in Paris has once again underlined the importance of the Wettstar Grand Prix of Baden."
In addition, with the support of shareholders Peter Gaul and BBAG, the total purse for the race was raised to 200,000 euros.
Having already increased the cash prizes in the basic races, we now also want to send a signal for top-level sport. I would like to thank Wettstar, BBAG and our main shareholder Peter Gaul for their support, without which this would not be financially viable," explains Stephan Buchner, Managing Partner of Baden Galopp.
The 152nd Wettstar Grand Prix of Baden will be held as the conclusion and highlight of the Grand Week on 04.09.2022. Tickets are already available at www.badengalopp.de.
