Big week from 27 August-04 September 2022 in Baden-Baden - Iffezheim:
Grand Prix Soiree at Casino Baden-Baden the social highlight of the Great Week
Baden-Baden/Iffezheim, September 4, 2022 (MH). The Grand Prix Soiree 2022 of Baden Galopp at the Casino Baden-Baden was the social event on Saturday, 03 September, the evening before the final race day of the Grand Week for the 152nd Wettstar.de Grand Prix of Baden.
In his welcome address, Stephan Buchner, Managing Partner of Baden Galopp, welcomed the political VIPs, such as. the new mayor of Baden-Baden Dietmar Späth, Iffezheim's mayor Christian Schmid, Sven Siebert, the mayor of the partner municipality Hoppegarten, and Kai Whittaker (member of the Bundestag) and expressed his gratitude to the Casino Baden-Baden, the umbrella organization of German gallop, the Baden-Baden Auction Company (BBAG) and especially Celina Zindler, the event manager of Baden Galopp, who had organized the evening.
Of course, the anniversary of 200 years of gallop racing in Germany was one of the cornerstones of the event, as Stephan Buchner quoted passages from Harald Siemen's recently published anniversary book in a very entertaining way, referring to the races in Iffezheim.
But there were other highlights on this evening, which was moderated by Alexander Franke in his usual sovereign manner. For example, the short film about the Baden Grand Prix, which conveyed the emotions of this event and the racecourse, had its premiere.
Of course, culinary delights in the form of "finger food appetizers", "live cooking in the fire ring" on the terrace of flank steak and fillet of beef and Scottish salmon for the main course and tasty desserts were not to be missed, served by the restaurant "The Grill".
In between (similar to a Derby pool), the starters in the 152nd Wettstar.de Grand Prix of Baden were symbolically "auctioned off", the season highlight at the racecourse in Baden-Baden-Iffezheim, which is endowed with 200,000 euros and in which a duel between last year's winner and Arc winner Torquator Tasso and Derby hero Sammarco is expected. But Alter Adler and Mendocino also attracted keen interest at this very special "auction". Thanks to the guests' willingness to donate, 14,333 euros were collected, which will go to a good cause determined by whoever "bought" the winner in the 152nd Wettstar.de Grosser Preis von Baden.
Finally, guests could finish the evening at the casino's gaming tables and "test" their luck for the final day of the Big Week.
