German runners in France today

several German-trained runners today at Chantilly where the main event is a listed race for 3yo´s over 2000 metres at 15.35. 7 runners, including Falun (Andreas Trybuhl/ Terry Hellier), who is moving up in grade after winning 3 races this year. However he faces much tougher opposition this time. There are no German entries in the other listed event, a mile race for 3yo fillies at 15.00, in which English raider Riotista /Eoghan O´Neill/ Thierry Thulliez) could run well at a big price. Captain Camelot (Dr. Bolte/ Stephane Pasquier) has a difficult task under top-weight in the 2400 metres tiercé handicap at 14.25 and Samiro (Werner Baltromei/ Dominique Boeuf), a tierce specialist, is preferred at these weights. Michael Trybuhl has booked top jockey Olivier Peslier to partner his Black Jack in the claimer over 1800 metres at 16.20, but German-bred and Dutch-trained Irish Rock (Piet van Kempen/ Tony Piccone) looks a big danger.
