Frühjahrs Dreijährigen-Preis


The Frühjahrs Dreijährigen-Preis is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to three-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 2,000 metres at Frankfurt in late April or early May.

History

The event was established in 1965, and it was originally called the Adolf Schindling-Rennen. It was named in memory of Adolf Schindling, a Frankfurt-born businessman who owned the successful stud farm Gestüt Asta.
The race was given Group 3 status in 1982. For a period it was sponsored by Steigenberger Hotels and run as the Preis der Steigenberger Hotels. It was later backed by BMW and titled the BMW Händler-Trophy.
The banking company Bankhaus Metzler took over the sponsorship in 2000. Since 2016 it was moved to Baden-Baden to be run at its spring festival and renamed the Ittlingen Derby Trial.
