The Zukunfts-Rennen is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at Baden-Baden over a distance of 1,400 metres (about 7 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late August or early September.
History
The event was established in 1859, and it was initially contested over 1,000 metres. It was extended to 1,200 metres in 1883.
The Zukunfts-Rennen was given Group 3 status in the 1970s, and it was promoted to Group 2 level in 1982. It was sponsored by Moët & Chandon from 1982 to 1996, and by Raab Karcher from 1997 to 1999.
Maurice Lacroix took over the sponsorship in 2000, and for a period the event was known as the Maurice Lacroix-Trophy. Its distance was increased to 1,400 metres in 2006, and the race returned to Group 3 level in 2007. The association with Maurice Lacroix ended in 2008.
