One positive thing was that in Denmark they managed to complete the season without making cuts to prize money, which did not happen in the other two countries, though there were some strange experiences, such as running Mowerinaløb (Danish 1,000 Guineas) on a Monday morning. The effect on betting turnover is not yet clear, but Scandinavians are used to betting on their computers, and another positive was that prices at the sales were normal and interest in yearlings was good.

She made all and scored by over four lengths in a comparatively fast time. The opposition was not that strong, but she has plenty of scope and should make up into a useful three-year-old, perhaps even over 6f. Campeao (Acclamation) was a strong favourite in the EBF maiden over 7f later in the afternoon after being placed third on debut and, with a good draw, Jamie Spencer had to shove him to avoid being shuffled back. This meant he was a tad keen, but he had the run of the race as well, so it was a good effort by debutante Zaajel (Awtaad) to show a turn of foot and sweep past him to win. She can make up into a well above average three-year-old, with Stakes races a possibility.
