The Grand Prix-Aufgalopp is a Listed flat horse race in Germany open to thoroughbreds aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 2,100 metres (about 1 mile and 2½ furlongs) at Cologne in April.

History

The event was formerly titled the Moormann-Rennen. It was usually contested over 1,800 or 2,000 metres at Dortmund.

The race was transferred to Cologne and renamed the Grand Prix-Aufgalopp in 1986. It was initially run over 1,900 metres and classed at Listed level. It was extended to 2,200 metres in 1990, and promoted to Group 3 status in 2007.

The Grand Prix-Aufgalopp became known as the Grand Prix Premiere in 2010. It was shortened to 2,100 metres in 2011. It returned to Listed level and reverted to its previous title in 2012.
