Bavarian Classic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bavarian Classic is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany for three-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 2,000 metres (approximately 1¼ miles) at Munich Racecourse, Munich in late May or early June.

It was first run in 1969 and has formerly been known as the Grosser Hertie-Preis, the Grosser Preis von Deutschland and the Grosser Müller-Brot-Preis. From 1977 it was classed as a Group 2 race and run over 2,200 metres, reducing to the present distance in 1998 and downgrading to Group 3 status in 2004.
