German runners in France today

two flat meetings in France today, with German-trained runners in almost all races at Strasbourg and Chantilly. There are too many to list here, but in our estimation the best hopes of a German success lie with Born to Win (Christian von der Recke/ Alxi Badel) in the 3yo claiming race at 13.05 and Genios (Dr. Andreas Bolte/ William Mongil) in the 14.05 claimer for older horses at Strasbourg; and at Chantilly, Hashbrown (Christian Spregel/ Carina Fey) in the lady riders race at 16.50. Main event at Chantilly is the listed race for 3 yo fillies over 1400 metres at 14.20, in which both German runners, Atalia (Mario Hofer/ Jean-Pierre Carvalho) and Time to Beat (Werner Baltromei/ Dominique Boeuf) could be involved in the finish.
