German runners at Le Croise-Laroche

The French provincial racecourse at Le Croise-Laroche is well situated for German trainers, and there are 8 German runners there this afternoon. 4 of them run in the 2100 metres claimer for 3yo colts at 14.35 - Alvarado (Dr. Bolte/ Thierry Thulliez), Horse of Course (Doris Smith/ Fabien Lefbevre) and Ralf Rohne´s pair Ying (Mikael Barzalona) and Black Law (Aurelien Lemaitre), while Dr.Bolte and Thulliez also team up with Malica in the equivalent race for fillies at 15.05; in the same race Peter Schiergen´s Laury (Andrasch Starke) has in our opinion the best German chance of the day. An hour later, Action Law (Bolte/ Thulliez) runs in a 1100 metres claimer, while Erturk Kurdu´s Goldanera (Stephan Hellyn) in entered in a 2100 metres handicap for older horses at 16.35. There are some quite large fields here and also some ex-German runners, so winning will not be easy. There is also jumps racing this afternoon at Auteuil and trotting this evening at Vincennes.
