German runners at Le Croise-Laroche

German runners in France this week have enjoyed mixed fortunes, but there could be more winners today at Le Croise´-Laroche, where there is a late start at 16.20 and where German-trained runners contest 6 of the 8 races, Penjabi (Erturk and Emrah Kurdu), Lapao (Werner Hefter/ Andreas Suborics) and Dunaden (Doris Smith/ Fabien Lefbvre) contest the 3yo maiden over 2100 metres at 16.50, while Personal Power (Christian von der Recke/ Sarah Leutwiler) and Sarkando (Kurdu/ Lyeia Lammers) run in the ladies race at 17.20, White Bull (Werner Baltromei/ Dominique Boeuf), Foxfire Delight (Kurdu/ Subi) and Talina (von der Recke/ Maxime Guyon) go for the claimer at 17.50, and Ebulobo (Dr. Bolte/ Subi) runs in the handicap at 18.20, all over the same distance. Zobel Davis (Stefan Buchner/ Subi) and Roque (Sascha Smcrzek/ Boeuf) are engaged in the 1100 metres claimer at 18.50, where the ex-Germans Arc de Triomphe and Lips Lion may be tough to beat, while Goldanera (Kurdu/ Subi) is the final German runner of the fixture in the 1800 metres handicap at 19.20.
