Content Postal address Hattendorffstr. 83 News/Reviews Germany – Pages 2-4 29225 Celle News/Reviews Europe – Pages 5-8 GERMANY Imprint Email address [email protected] Anglo German Racing [email protected] Chief Editor: Darren Thrussell Published weekly News Round-Up - Germany MUNICH: GROUP 1 GLORY FOR GODOLPHIN STAR BARNEY ROY gave the Sheikh Mohammed-led Godolphin operation their second victory in three years in the Group 1 Grosser Dallmayr Preis when winning this year’s renewal of the race at Munich on Sunday. Having won the race in 2018 with Benbatl, Godolphin had high hopes with Barney Roy, described by former trainer Richard Hannon as ‘the best I’ve ever trained’ after winning the Group 1 St. James Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2017. After being placed in two further Group 1 races, Barney Roy was sent off to stud, however, after proving to be infertile, Barney Roy was gelded and put back into racing, this time with Godolphin private trainer Charlie Appleby. After winning a Longchamp Listed race in May last year, 2020 saw Barney Roy return to the big time, winning the aforementioned Group 1 Jebel Hatta at Meydan, before returning to England, where he was a decent third in the Group 1 Prince of Wales’ Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. Clearly the class horse in Sunday’s race rated 116, Barney Roy was settled in the main pack as Naida cut out the pace followed by the second Godolphin runner Spotify, the pair clear of their five rivals. However, the complexion of the race charged in the home straight as several of the big guns made their move, as the locally trained Quest the Moon burst out of the pack to lead close home. However, under a determined drive from jockey William Buick, Barney Roy forged past Quest the Moon to win by a neck, with Patrick Sarsfield, trained in Ireland by Joseph O’Brien, back in third. ‘It was a tough race’ said winning jockey Buick. ‘The German horses are a good standard, and we were worried when the rain came this morning as all his best form is on quicker ground’. Despite the victory, winning trainer Charlie Appleby commented that things didn’t quite go as planned. ‘There was a strong pace from the start, and we were a bit further back than we had hoped. With the pace and ground, stamina came into play, which probably suited the local horses more’.

News Round-Up - Germany BIG RACE PREVIEW - 162ND HENKEL PREIS DER DIANA LEGEND DETTORI IN GERMAN OAKS BID FRANKIE DETTORI chases Group 1 glory in Germany this weekend when the legendary jockey rides in the 162nd Henkel Preis der Diana, the German Oaks, at Düsseldorf on Sunday. Fresh from having ridden two of the biggest names in world racing, Enable and Stradivarius, to Group 1 victories recently, Dettori makes the trip to Germany to partner MISS YODA, trained like Enable and Stradivarius by John Gosden in Newmarket. German owned and bred, Miss Yoda won a Listed race over about 2300 metres at Lingfield on her seasonal debut before possibly failing to get home after being stepped us in trip and class at Ascot and Newmarket. Back down in distance on Sunday, Miss Yoda is one to watch with the all conquering Dettori / Gosden combination making a rare trip to Germany. Francis-Henri Graffard won the German Derby with In Swoop last month, and the French trainer returns to Germany with TICKLE ME GREEN and MOON A LISA, both bred in Germany by the Gestüt Görlsdorf, and who raced exclusively in Germany last year . However, whereas Moon A Lisa, who will be ridden on Sunday by four time French champion jockey Olivier Peslier, has yet to race in anything higher than Listed class, Tickle Me Green mixed it with the best when ninth in last month’s French 1000 Guineas before landing a Listed race at Vichy over 2000 metres two weeks ago. The mount of German Derby winning jockey Ronan Thomas, Tickle Me Green could go close here. NO LIMIT CREDIT is the best German horse on official ratings and will have the assistance in the saddle on Sunday of top Italian jockey Dario Vargiu. However the Andreas Suborics-trained Night of Thunder filly, who was second in the German 1000 Guineas here last month, is unproven at further than 1600 metres, and with breeding suggesting that might be her optimum distance, the petrol gauge could be on empty in the closing stages of this 2200 metre contest. Having supplied the first two home in this year’s German Derby, Adlerflug is a sire in the headlines at the moment, however his only progeny in Sunday’s race is the Andreas Wöhler-trained TANGUT. Although still a maiden, Tangut was a decent fourth in the Italian Oaks at Milan earlier this month, just over a length behind the winner. However, the form of that race has looked slightly questionable, and Tangut was over 14 lengths behind Moon A Lisa at Dresden in November. The dam of ELLE MEMORY is Elle Danzig, who won this race way back in 1998, and who went on to win eleven races at Group level. Unraced as a two year old, Elle Memory looks to have inherited some of her dam’s talent, having won her last two races, and although needing to improve here, is unexposed and could go well on Sunday . (Continued on next page) News Round-Up - Germany BIG RACE PREVIEW - 162ND HENKEL PREIS DER DIANA (continued from previous page) English jockey Jack Mitchell (photo right, copyright Stefanie Ihlenburg / Anglo German Racing) came close to winning the German Derby this year, finishing second on Torquator Tasso. Mitchell returns to Germany on Sunday to partner OCEAN FANTASY for trainer Jean-Pierre Carvalho, third last time in a Group 2 race at Berlin Hoppegarten behind KALIFORNIA QUEEN and SNOW, both of whom re- oppose here. However, that was on good ground, and the French-bred Ocean Fantasy, who beat Tickle Me Green in a photo for a soft ground Group 3 contest at Baden-Baden in October, would be one to watch with some give underfoot. With storms forecast in the Düsseldorf area on Saturday, condition s could come right for the filly, whose sire Make Believe won the 2015 French 2000 Guineas on sof t ground. Czech -born Jan Korpas was champion jumps jockey in Germany a few years ago, but now trains a small string of horses in Hoppegarten near Berlin, one of which is PALOMA OHE, who steps up in trip having been unraced beyond 1600 metres. A staying on fourth in the German 1000 Guineas in June, Paloma Ohe, an English-bred filly by Group 1 winner Rio de la Plata, is out of a middle distance French-trained mare who won over 2300 metres. With a half brother having won over 2400 metres, Paloma Ohe could improve greatly for the step up in trip, and could go well at a big price here. However, SILENCE PLEASE, trained in Ireland by Jessica Harrington, brings some quite outstanding form into Sunday’s race. Although rated 2lb inferior to Miss Yoda on official British and Irish ratings, Silence Please, despite making her Group debut here, has been mixing it with the very best this year. Unbeaten as a two year old having won both her races, Silence Please started this season with victory in a Listed race at Navan in June, coming out on top of a photo finish with stable companion One Voice, who went on to finish an excellent second in the Group 1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood on Wednesday. Another Listed contest was on the agenda for Silence Please earlier this month, this time at Naas, where the Gleneagles filly finished third to Even So, who went on to win the Group 1 Irish Oaks. Having finished strongly in both races, which were both over 1¼ miles (approx. 2000 metres), Silence Please should have no problems with the slightly longer distance on Sunday, and with the form looking superior to her rivals here, looks set to give Ireland a first ever victory in the German Oaks.

  • Galileo, Frankel Setting the Standard Cont
    FRIDAY, 6 MARCH 2020 GALILEO, FRANKEL SETTING INTERNATIONAL VETS COLLABORATE IN FRACTURE RISK DETERMINATION THE STANDARD By Emma Berry A conference convened partly in the wake of high-profile scratchings on veterinary grounds of several international horses from last year's Melbourne Cup has looked at ways in which racing vets from around the world can work more closely in the field of pre-race assessment. Newmarket played host to the international gathering of veterinarians for the consensus conference on fracture risk assessment of the Thoroughbred fetlock, at which clinical diagnosis and the range of diagnostic imaging were at the forefront of a debate which also took an in-depth look at what could be deemed to be a "reasonable level of risk." An open session on Wednesday, which included representatives from the world of breeding, training, scientific research, insurance and raceday regulation, followed a closed Galileo | Coolmore debate on Tuesday between a panel of 12 vets. Cont. p3 By John Boyce It's not just the number of stakes winners; it's also the quality and the rate at which they're sired that determines the best stallions in the land. In the modern world of breeding with larger books, 10% stakes winners from runners has perhaps become the new norm for greatness, rather than the 10% stakes winners to foals of yesterday. It is interesting to note that the great Northern Dancer sired 23% stakes winners from foals and 29% stakes winners from runners in an era when 40 mares in a book was the norm. Today, his outstanding grandson Galileo (Ire) manages 17% stakes winners from runners, widely and rightly acknowledged as an extraordinary achievement.
