Oettingen-Rennen

The Oettingen-Rennen is a Group 2 flat horse race in Germany open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Baden-Baden over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late August or early September.

History
The event was established in 1927, and it was originally known as the Badener Meile. It was renamed the Oettingen-Rennen in 1970, and for a period it held Group 3 status. A different race called the Badener Meile was created in 1979.

Darley Stud started to sponsor the Oettingen-Rennen in 1999. The race was promoted to Group 2 level in 2003.
