A highly successful partnership will continue in 2025: WETTSTAR is once again the main sponsor of the most important race at the racecourse in Baden-Baden-Iffezheim this year - the WETTSTAR.de - 155th Grand Prix of Baden. The most important broker of horse betting in Germany is once again supporting the traditional Group 1 race, which is also a top dress rehearsal for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, the number one racing event in the world on the first Sunday in October in Paris Longchamp.
300,000 euros is the prize money for this 2,400 meter race, which will be held on September 7, 2025 on the final day of the Great Week (30.8.-7.9.). The owner of the winning horse will receive 165,000 euros. This is Germany's most important Grand Prix competition for three-year-old and older top horses. 43 horses are currently eligible to compete in the WETTSTAR.de - 155th Grand Prix of Baden, including a large number of international star gallopers and various aces from local racing stables.
Riko Luiking, Managing Director of WETTSTAR: "We are delighted to be the namesake of this outstanding sporting event for the fifth time. This year, too, the race will be contested in over 28 countries as part of the World Pool. This underlines the importance of this Group 1 competition."
Stephan Buchner, Managing Director of Baden Galopp: "WETTSTAR is an indispensable partner of the German racing clubs. We are therefore very pleased about the renewed commitment to our most important race of the year and hope for a top-class line-up".
