Tours
Baden Galopp offers two free public guided tours of the racecourse grounds at the start of the race day. Learn more about the fascination of horse racing. You can find the times and meeting point via the rider program.
Terrain
Experts refer to the track on which the horses gallop, the turf. Entering it is strictly prohibited, because thoroughbreds can travel at up to 60 km / h, and the risk of injury is great.
Dogs
Bringing dogs is allowed, but they must be leashed AT ALL TIMES. A watering hole is available at the Absattelring and Secretariat at the Libra building.
We ask you to pick up the leftovers of your pets and dispose of them in the trash cans. Throughout the grounds, we have placed appropriately chic bag dispensers: Freely according to the motto: "Don't leave a mess, throw away the poop!"
Information
Free guided tours before the start of the races provide information about the racecourse and an introduction to the betting action. Weather information is available at the Wettstar tent, the stand is located on the grandstand side directly next to the lead ring.

Parking
The Baden-Baden - Iffezheim racecourse has a large number of paid parking spaces. If you are afraid of a short walk of a few minutes, you can secure reserved parking spaces in parking lot A directly at the Benazet grandstand.
Quick Pick
The Quick Pick is the easiest way to win a lot of money in the four-way bet with a small bet. You have to announce at the cashier how much you want to bet (at least two euros) and the computer will type for you. With a little luck it will be the first four horses in the right order.
Saddle Seat
The single admission ticket is traditionally called a saddling area ticket, as you can watch the horses being saddled in the driving ring. The ticket gives you access to the Iffezheim grandstand including the Kincsem and Oleander Tower and to the Terrace Lounge on the second floor of the large saddling ring grandstand with a view over the driving ring and the saddling ring.
Tradition
There have been horse races in Iffezheim since 1858 and many of the main sporting competitions such as the Grand Prix of Baden or the Future Race have been around since the early years.
Entertainment
Horse racing is pure entertainment: it offers elegance, dynamism, excitement and the chance to win money.
Including a mega fun factor that nobody can resist. When the four-legged top stars turn into the home straight with flowing manes and flying hooves, no one is held back: Business customers in pinstripe suits and "normal" horse enthusiasts alike jump up from their seats and break out into extremely loud cheers.
VIP
Iffezheim has many prominent guests. The goal of Baden Galopp is to make every visitor feel especially well taken care of.
If you would like to spend a race day as a VIP, you have the opportunity to secure seats in the exclusive hospitality areas "Champions' Club" or "The Finisher", for example.
The Brenners Park Hotel in Baden-Baden also offers an exclusive racing experience with the special Brenners flair in its own "Brenners Lounge". Tickets for this lounge are available at
Bets
Betting is not as difficult as some people think and often a novice who relies on his gut feeling has more success than the supposed expert. The minimum stake for a bet starts at 50 cents. The different types of bets are explained in the race program and on information boards.
X, Y + target
The distances change in the horse race and vary between 1,000 m and 3,200 m. The 2,200 m start directly in front of the Grand Saddle Seat Grandstand is particularly attractive. The horses run around to the left in Iffezheim. The finish is always at the same place next to the big video screen.
