100,000 Euro Showdown in the Oleander Race

Hoppegarten, Sunday, 15 May: It is the first group race of 2022 at the Parkbahn in Berlin-Hoppegarten, and what a race it is: In the Comer Group International 51st Oleander Race (Group II, 100,000 Euros, 3,200 m) the local stayer king will be sought.

Of course, the field of eleven Nurmis is once again a tough one. Nubius (B. Murzabayev) and Sir Polski (M. Cadeddu) have clearly announced themselves. Diamantis (M. Seidl) was also very attractive here. Loft (R.Piechulek) from Ittlingen deserved a success on this stage. The places of honour in two Group III races were quite respectable. The two Irishmen Bradesco (J. Egan) and Guild (J. Bojko) must have improved quite a bit. Here, the trifecta bet is worthwhile, because 11,111 Euros will be paid out.

Nine races are scheduled between 2 pm and 6:15 pm. The 1,600-metre equaliser II could be won by Lacento (J. Bojko) or Alpinius (A. Best). The four-race bet offers a guaranteed payout of 11,111 Euros each in the 4th race (Equalisation III, 2,000 m) and in the 9th race (Equalisation IV, 1,600 m).
