Partner of the Baden Economy 2024
History
The Grand Prix of the Baden Economy was already the sporting highlight of this race week at the premiere of the spring meeting around 40 years ago.
It serves the 4-year-old and older horses as preparation for the big international races in Europe.
The list of winners includes outstanding horses such as Star Appeal (winner of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in the same year), Acatenango (winner of the Grand Prix de St.Cloud, Grand Prix de Baden in the same year) and Danedream (winner of the King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Grand Prix de Baden in the same year), as well as Novellist (winner of the Prix de St.Cloud, King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Grand Prix de Baden in the same year).


Charity idea
Baden Galopp would like to further promote the cooperation of companies from the region for the Baden Business Grand Prix.
The idea is not only to secure and support the gallop races in Iffezheim financially in the long term, but also to promote charitable projects in the surrounding area.
In 2022, we launched our collaboration with the charitable organization Herzenssache e.V. which came closest to our desire for help and support in our region. The focus is on children's aid projects.
Two projects were supported with the first proud donation of €10,000.
Our charity partner
"Herzenssache e.V. - that is the children's aid campaign of SWR, SR and Sparda-Bank. We look after children and young people in Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. Our mission is to protect, support and strengthen. Herzenssache helps where there is a problem. With the aim of ensuring that children and young people living in south-west Germany have equal opportunities in the long term."
Herzenssache is under the patronage of Hartmut Engler. Together with his band PUR, the successful singer is campaigning for children and young people in the south-west.
In December 2013, Hartmut Engler took over the patronage from the former Minister President of Baden-Württemberg, Lothar Späth.


Your day as a supporter
As a partner and supporter of the charity project "Badische Wirtschaft meets Herzenssache e.V." , we look forward to welcoming you and your guests to the racecourse on the day of the event.
The supporters of the Baden economy are also the patrons of the main event of the day. We will accompany you on a visit to the driving ring, where you will jointly select the most beautiful horse in the driving ring. In the garden of our club tower, you can follow the race with the best view of the finish line.
The presentation of the honorary prizes by the supporters and the handover of the cheque to the foundation representatives are on the program afterwards. Some joint photos and an interview with the foundation are planned for reporting purposes.
The official program will be rounded off with a champagne reception with the winning team.
