The Fürstenberg-Rennen is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to three-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at a variety of German racecourses, over a distance of 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in August. The race was run at Baden-Baden until 2010.
History
The event was established in 1880, and it was originally contested over 2,400 metres. For a period it was known as the Preis von Iffezheim.
The distance of the race was modified several times during the early 1900s. It began a spell over 2,200 metres in 1957.
The present race grading system was introduced in Germany in 1972, and the Fürstenberg-Rennen was given Group 3 status. It was cut to 2,000 metres in 2001.
The event was titled the Belmondo-Preis in 2010. It was held at Hanover as the Grosser Preis des Audi Zentrums Hannover in 2011.
The race was run over 2,100 metres at Düsseldorf in 2012, and on this occasion it was called the Grosser Sparkassenpreis.
