Cologne, Saturday, 5 August: Of course, the Turf Classic for the Henkel Prize of Diana is already casting its shadow, but on Saturday in Cologne there will also be a top-class event 24 hours before the highlight in Düsseldorf.
Promising youngsters will do the honours in the BBAG auction race (52,000 Euros, 1,300 m). West Man (M. Seidl) and New Emerald (A. Starke) are very talented horses, as their first success was very promising.
A 2,200-metre Equalisation II stands out from the supporting programme, Archie (S. Vogt) is here one of many horses capable of improvement.
11,111 Euros beckon as payout in the four-horse bet of the 6th race (Equalisation IV, 2,200 metres). After the strong form in Hamburg, Sacher (S. Vogt) is an option in the Stellpferden. A total of eight races are on the card between 10:50 am and 2:30 pm, with the first six races also part of the PMU programme.
