Frühjahrs-Meile opens the Group season!

Düsseldorf, Sunday, 16 April: The second racing day of 2023 in Düsseldorf on Sunday is a very special one, because on this day the Group season starts for the German gallopers.

The Spring Mile (Group III, 55,000 Euros, 1,600 m) has found a very attractive line-up with 14 horses. It is clear that the four-horse bet will be played here - with a guaranteed payout of 14,000 Euros. Aemilianus (A. Starke) set an exclamation mark here in October with his success in the Grand Prix of the state capital Düsseldorf. Proven group horses include Dapango (D. Sabatbekov), Parol (S. Mazur), Best Lightning (M. Seidl) and See Hector (L. Delozier). The former serial winner Western Soldier (M. Abik) can also be looked forward to, even though he is under Calif (R. Piechulek) according to the rider distribution.

In the Equalisation II over 2,200 metres, which stands out from the rest of the programme of nine races between 11:20 am and 3:40 pm, Night Ocean (L. Delozier) would have well deserved a success. The first five races are also part of the PMU card in France.
