Big Week from August 27 - September 04, 2022 in Baden-Baden - Iffezheim:
World star Torquator Tasso with world-class jockey Lanfranco Dettori before defending his title in the 152nd Wettstar.de Grand Prix of Baden
- Spectacular finale of the Big Week with live broadcast to Hong Kong
Baden-Baden/Iffezheim, September 01, 2022 (MH). It is the gallop race of the year on Sunday, September 4, at the racecourse in Baden-Baden-Iffezheim - the 152nd Wettstar.de Grosser Preis von Baden on the final Sunday of the 2022 Grand Week, sponsored for the second time by the most important broker of horse betting in German racing. The prize money in this Group I race over 2,400 meters amounts to 200,000 euros, with 115,000 euros going to the owner of the winning horse alone.
There is every indication that the world star of German turf will repeat last year's success here and recommend himself for a second triumph in the Prix de l' Arc de Triomphe in Paris-Longchamp on October 2 - Torquator Tasso, trained by Marcel Weiß in Mülheim for Gestüt Auenquelle (Rödinghausen). After his still insignificant seasonal debut in the Großer Preis der Badischen Wirtschaft, the Adlerflug-son impressed in the Wettstar.de - Großer Hansa-Preis and with an honorable second place in the King George Stakes at Ascot.
Dettori should fix it
Torquator Tasso, who has won six times in 14 starts, has earned 3,608,740 euros so far in his career. As his previous partner, Rene Piechulek, will be riding Mendocino for Stall Salzburg, none other than Lanfranco Dettori (51), the world-class jockey with over 500 successes in group races, has been engaged to ride him.
Derby winner Sammarco the big challenger
Challenger Sammarco (B. Murzabayev) will also make the Grand Prix particularly exciting. The three-year-old stallion, owned by Gestüt Park Wiedingen (Soltau) and the son of Berlin-based banker Helmut von Finck, from Peter Schiergen's stables in Cologne, impressed with his two successes at the highest level in the IDEE 153rd German Derby in Hamburg and the Dallmayr Grand Prix in Munich.
Alter Adler (A. de Vries) won the Badische Wirtschaft Grand Prix here at the spring meeting. Ardakan (A. Starke), trained by Markus Klug, finished third in the Grand Prix of Berlin.
New partner Brunner for the Oettingen Race & 12 Races
Top gallopers will also be competing in the rest of the program of the large card of twelve races - as the first four races and the Grand Prix will be broadcast to France, the first race will start at 11:15 am. The best miler will meet in the Brunner - Oettingen race (Group II, 70,000 euros, 1,600 m). For the first time, contract furniture manufacturer Brunner is the partner of this important competition.
The French guest Hurricane Dream (L. Detttori) and Best Lightning (M. Seidl), who won the 44th Kronimus Badener Meile, are just two of the many aces in the field of ten.
Promising handicappers are heading for the Compensation I (20,000 euros, 2,400 m). With Lascalo (R. Piechulek) there is even a guest from Switzerland.
Live broadcast of three races to Hong Kong
Three races on the final day of the Grand Week, the 152nd Wettstar.de Grosser Preis von Baden, the Brunner-Oettingen-Rennen and a handicap will be broadcast live to the betting paradise of Hong Kong and can be bet on from there. Thanks to our partner WETTSTAR, we are setting completely new standards in live broadcasting, as we did with the Berlin Grand Prix.
Highlight for Arabian thoroughbreds
The President of the United Arab Emirates Cup (Group II, 1,600 m) for Arabian thoroughbreds is worth an attractive 40,000 euros. With horses from England, France, Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic, the line-up here is particularly international and naturally very interesting.
Great betting opportunities
Of course, there are also attractive guaranteed payouts on offer again in the four-player bet, which is played out three times. 25,000 euros and twice 10,000 euros will be paid out.
