Grosse Europa-Meile

The Grosse Europa-Meile is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.

It is run over a distance of 1,600 metres (about 1 mile) at Munich in September.

The event was originally staged at Cologne as the Grosser Kaufhof-Preis.

The race was shortened to a mile in 1972, and from this point it held Group 3 status.

Europcar started a three-year period of sponsorship in 1998, and the event became known as the Grosse Europcar-Meile.
