A highly successful partnership will continue in 2025: WETTSTAR is once again the main sponsor of the most prestigious race at the Baden-Baden-Iffezheim racetrack—the WETTSTAR.de – 155th Baden Grand Prix. Germany’s leading horse betting provider is once again supporting this historic Group 1 race, which also serves as a top dress rehearsal for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe—the world’s premier horse racing event, held on the first Sunday in October at Paris Longchamp.
The prize money for this 2,400-meter race, which will be held on September 7, 2025, on the final day of the “Große Woche” (August 30–September 7), totals 300,000 euros. The owner of the winning horse will receive 165,000 euros. This is Germany’s most important Grand Prix race for top-class horses aged three and older. 43 horses are currently eligible to compete in the WETTSTAR.de – 155th Baden Grand Prix, including a large contingent of international star thoroughbreds and a wide variety of top horses from local racing stables.
Riko Luiking, Managing Director of WETTSTAR: “We are delighted to be the title sponsor of this outstanding sporting event for the fifth time. Once again this year, bets on this race will be available in over 28 countries as part of the World Pool. This underscores the significance of this Group 1 race.”
Stephan Buchner, Managing Director of Baden Galopp: “WETTSTAR is an indispensable partner for German racing clubs. We are therefore very pleased about this renewed commitment to our most important race of the year and hope for a top-notch field of competitors.”
