History

The event was established in 1927, and it was originally known as the Badener Meile. It was renamed the Oettingen-Rennen in 1970, and for a period it held Group 3 status. A different race called the Badener Meile was created in 1979.

Darley Stud started to sponsor the Oettingen-Rennen in 1999. The race was promoted to Group 2 level in 2003.
