Who will be the Derby favourite?

Cologne, Monday, 06 June: Whoever wins here is automatically a hot commodity for the race of the year: On Whit Monday, the possible Derby favourite will be sought in Cologne, in the 187th Sparkasse KölnBonn - Union race (Group II, 70,000 Euros, 2,200 m).

Sammarco (B. Murzabayev) and So Moonstruck (A. Starke), who started strongly late, or Maraseem (M. Cadeddu), who finished third between them, were very appealing in the Bavarian Classic and offer themselves for the final battle. Barely fully recognised are Angelino (A. Sanna) and Bemer (M. Seidl).

The highlight is embedded in a card of nine races between 2 and 6:25 pm. In the Weidenpescher Steher Cup (Listed race, 22,500 Euros, 3,000 m) Dolcetto (A. Sanna) should be well ahead after his great fight in the Oleander race.

Double offered is the quadruple bet. 15,000 Euros (with a jackpot of 3,894.28 Euros) are guaranteed in the 7th race (Equalisation IV, 1,850 m), 10,000 Euros are offered in the 3rd race (Equalisation III, 1,300 m).
