Goldene Peitsche

The Goldene Peitsche is a Group 2 flat horse race in Germany open to thoroughbreds which are three-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 1,200 metres (approximately 6 furlongs) at Iffezheim Racecourse, Baden-Baden, and it takes place annually in late August or early September.

It was first run in 1867 at Tempelhof, and it then moved to Hoppegarten the following year. With the exception of the period from 1918 to 1922, when it was run at Grunewald, the race remained at Hoppegarten until 1944. It first took place at its present venue in 1953, and it was given Group 3 status in 1972. It was promoted to Group 2 in 1991.
