Mülheim: Germany`s longest flat race

Mülheim, Saturday, 01 October: More than four minutes of high voltage, that is the motto on Saturday in Mülheim, because the Ruhr racecourse presents the Nurmi spectacle in this country with the RP Gruppe 79th Silver Ribbon of the Ruhr (List race, 25,000 euros, 4,000 m). Nowhere else does it go over such a long way on the flat track as here.

Arrival (A. Starke) has already proven a horse`s tongue and arrives with current Baden-Baden form. Maybe she can be at the front again now. One should not write off Alerta Roja (T. Hammer-Hansen), who only finished fourth there as the favourite. A year ago, the mare owned by Tetra Pak heiress Kirsten Rausing finished fifth. Also dangerous are Niagaro (L. Wolff) and last year`s runner-up Noa Lea (A. v. d. Troost).

Eight races will be held on Saturday between 1:30 pm and 5 pm. 10,000 Euros stand over the foursome bet of the 7th race (Equalisation IV, 2,000 m). Little Hercules (A. v. d. Recke) is a potential set horse.
