        CERTIFICATION BY CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PURSUANT TO SECTION 302
                        OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Christian Baha, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quadriga Capital
Management, Inc., the general partner of Quadriga Superfund, L.P. (the "Fund"),
do hereby certify that:

1.       I have reviewed this report on Form 10-K for the period ending December
31, 2003 (the "Report") of the Fund;

2.       Based on my knowledge, the Report does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were
made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by the Report;

3.       Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in the Report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Fund as of, and
for, the periods presented in the Report;

4.       The Fund's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15e) and internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the
Fund and we have:

         (i)      designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                  such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
                  to the Fund, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
                  known to us by others within those entities, particularly
                  during the period in which the Report is being prepared;

         (ii)     designed such internal control over financing reporting, or
                  caused such internal control over financial reporting to be
                  designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
                  assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
                  the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
                  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

         (iii)    evaluated the effectiveness of the Fund's disclosure controls
                  and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
                  about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
                  procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report
                  based on such evaluation; and

         (iv)     disclosed in the report any change in the Fund's internal
                  control over financial reporting that occurred during the
                  Fund's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
                  affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
                  Fund's internal control over financial reporting; and

                                       43

5.       The Fund's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
Fund's auditors and the audit committee of the Fund's board of directors (or
persons performing the equivalent functions):

         (i)      all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
                  internal controls over financial reporting which are
                  reasonably likely to adversely affect the Fund's ability to
                  record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
                  identified for the Fund's auditors any material weaknesses in
                  internal controls; and

         (ii)     any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                  or other employees who have a significant role in the Fund's
                  internal control over financial reporting.
