The Euro-Cup was a Group 3 flat horse race in Germany open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It was run at Frankfurt over a distance of 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles), and it was scheduled to take place each year in September. ==History== The event was contested over 2,000 metres in 1986 and 1987. It was extended to 2,200 metres and given Group 3 status in 1988. From this point it was called the Team Trophy and sponsored by Volksbanken und Raiffeisenbanken. The race was promoted to Group 2 level in 1989. It was cut to 2,100 metres in 1990, and to 2,000 metres in 1991. The event became known as the Made in Europe-Trophy in 1995, and the Flughafen Frankfurt-Trophy in 1997. It was renamed the Henninger-Trophy and increased to 2,050 metres in 1999. It was titled the Arthur Andersen Euro-Cup in 2000. The race was run at Cologne over 1,850 metres in 2001. That year's edition was called the Preis des Bankhaus Sal. Oppenheim. The Euro-Cup returned to Frankfurt with a distance of 2,000 metres in 2002. Subsequent sponsors included Ernst & Young and Merrill Lynch. The race was downgraded to Group 3 level in 2007. It was last run in 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Euro-Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
