German runners abroad

There are plenty of German runners abroad this weekend, with pride f place going to Quijano in Hong Kong tomorrow morning and addex in thr Prix Ganay tomorrow afternoon. Tosay Peter Schiergen send 5 runners to Milan and has good prospects in taking the main feature, the Group Three Premio Ambrosiano over 2000 metres at 17.25 CET, where he has 2 runners, Axxos with Terry Hellier and Davidoff with Filip Minarik. French racing today comes from Auteuil (N.H.) and Reims (trotting). At Auteuil there are 2 Group Two races, the Prix Jean Stern for 4yo´s over 4100 metres at 15.15 and the Prox Lein Rambaud over hurdles at 16.50. Mid Dancer (Arnaud Chaille-Chaille/ Jacques Ricou) is the clear favourite here; he has won 18 of his 19 starts over jumps, and although he is probably better over fences, he won this race last year and stands out on ratings. Harry Hack s Bartolo (Marc Lamazou-Larasse) is an interesting runner in the handicap hurdle at 15.50 for "jeunes jockeys"
