Two-year-olds, handicappers and St. Leger winners in Munich

Munich, Saturday, 15 October: If that`s not a clever move. On Saturday, gallop sport in Germany continues in Munich, when eight races between 12 noon and 3.30 p.m. are staged as a "sandwich", so to speak, between the two racing days of the Sales & Racing Festival in Baden-Baden.

Over a long distance of 2,800 metres, the Equalisation II is leading. Lion`s Head (A. v. d. Troost) is unlikely to stop at the current score. Christian von der Recke has two irons in the fire with Ginistrelli (R. Piechulek), who just excelled again, and Orihime (A. Starkle), a long-distance specialist.

Only three horses will contest an age-weight race over 2,000 metres, but Aff un zo (A. Starke), the winner of the St. Leger 2021, will be there. Despite the long abstinence, the task looks tailor-made. The two-year-old competition over the mile also knows how to please. Muskoka (R. Piechulek) and Wales (E. Pedroza) seem to be the horses to beat.

10,000 Euros are guaranteed in the four-horse bet of the 7th race (Compensation III, 1,400 m). Quelinda (A. v. d. Troost) stands to win after the Cologne impression.
