The Schwarzgold-Rennen is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies. It is run over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile) at Cologne in May.
History The event is named after Schwarzgold, a filly whose victories included the Preis der Diana and Deutsches Derby in 1940. "Schwarzgold-Rennen" is a previous title of several other races, including the German 1,000 Guineas (1941–88), the Hamburger Stutenmeile (1995–98) and the Diana-Trial (2004–07).
The present Schwarzgold-Rennen, a trial for the German 1,000 Guineas, was introduced in 2008. It replaced the Kölner Herbst-Stuten-Meile, an autumn race for fillies and mares aged three or older.
Since 2010, the race is run in memory of Baroness Karin von Ullmann, a former owner of Gestüt Schlenderhan, who died in 2009.
