Capital City Highlight on German Unity Day

Berlin-Hoppegarten, Monday, 03 October: Monday is National Day in this country, and the sport of gallop racing also celebrates this date with the 32nd Prize of German Unity (Group III, 55,000 euros, 2,000 m) at the Berlin-Hoppegarten racecourse.

The search is on for the successor to Grocer Jack, who entered the list of winners of the competition a year ago. India (A. Starke), also prepared by Waldemar Hickst, could win again here after her triumph in the Future Race, because she did not lose a single race in the T v. Zastrow Prize to the good Amazing Grace. The late entry could pay off. Queroyal (E. Pedroza) had to make do with fourth place in Iffezheim, but he can do better. Best of Lips (M. Seidl) recently ran well in La Coupe in France. Calif (B. Murzabayev) placed at group level at the penultimate start. Mansour (M. Cadeddu) should increase the recent form.

The rest of the programme is also pleasing. Three-year-old horses are reserved for the final round of the Sparkassen-Sprintserie - BBAG Auktionsrennen Berlin-Hoppegarten (52,000 Euro, 1,400 m). With Arnis Master (A. de Vries), Saldenlady (M. Pecheur) and True Tedesco (B. Murzabayev) specialists for such races meet.

In the equalisation I over 1,800 metres, Western Soldier (B. Murzabayev) and Way to Dubai (E. Pedroza) renew their duel from this track. The four-way bet with guaranteed payouts of 11,111 euros each will be offered in the 4th race (Equalisation III, 2,400 metres) and in the 8th race (Equalisation III, 1,800 metres).
