Preis des Winterfavoriten

The Preis des Winterfavoriten is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at Cologne over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile), and it is scheduled to take place each year in October.

History

The event was established in 1899, and it was originally contested at Cologne over 1,600 metres. It was held at Karlshorst in 1919, and cut to 1,400 metres in 1920.

The race was staged at Hoppegarten in 1940. It was switched to Munich and reverted to 1,600 metres in 1946. It returned to Cologne in 1947.

For a period the Preis des Winterfavoriten was classed at Listed level. It was given Group 3 status in 1998. It took place at Düsseldorf in 2012.
