Hessen-Pokal

The Hessen-Pokal (Hesse Cup) is a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.

It is run at Frankfurt over a distance of 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles), and it is scheduled to take place each year in November.

The race was moved to Krefeld and renamed Niederrhein-Pokal (Lower Rhine Cup) in 2014.

The event was established in 1967, and it was originally called the Concentra-Pokal.

It was renamed after Hesse, the German state where Frankfurt is located, in 1979.
