HOPPEGARTEN RACECOURSE |
|
| Situated about 30 minutes from Berlin city
centre, the Hoppegarten Racecourse has as its principal race the Group 2 Diana Trial held
each May. |
| |
In 1867 the Union-Klub Jockey Club was formed and they
bought 600 hectares of land on the outskirts of Berlin which was previously used for
growing hops, hence the name. |
|
| The inaugural meeting took place on 17th May
1868 and both King Wilhelm I and Otto Von Bismarck were in attendance. |
