The Bavarian Classic is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to three-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at Munich over a distance of 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in early May.

History

[edit]

The event was established in 1969, and the inaugural running was titled the Preis des Kaufhauses Hertie. It became known as the Grosser Hertie-Preis in 1970, and for a period its distance ranged from 1,850 to 2,200 metres. It was given Group 2 status in 1977, and from this point it was regularly contested over 2,200 metres.

The race was known as the Grosser Müller-Brot-Preis from 1997, and it was cut to 2,000 metres in 1998. It was downgraded to Group 3 level and renamed the Bavarian Classic in 2004. Prior to 2016 it was usually run in late May or early June, but is now regularly contested on 1 May.
