Guineas dress rehearsal in Cologne

Cologne, Sunday, 07 May: The third date of 2023 in Cologne also offered a first-class highlight, the Karin Baronin von Ullmann-Schwarzgold race (Group III, 55,000 Euros, 1,600 m) for three-year-old fillies.

In this test for the Ladies for the German 1000 Guineas, there could be another English victory in a top local three-year-old test after Brave Emperor`s triumph in the Dr. Busch Memorial, as the credentials of Heavenly Breath (B. A. Curtis), entered by Archie Watson, are brilliant. The strongest challenger is possibly Lady Ewelina (E. Pedroza) after winning the 2022 List, furthermore Winter Queen runner-up Empore (A. Starke) pleases. But there are also Maiden winners moving up, of which Atlantica (S. Vogt) is just one example. Here there is 10,000 euros to be earned in the triple bet.

Between 11:20 am and 3:30 pm, a total of eight tests are scheduled, of which races 1 to 5 are also part of the PMU card. The Equalisation I over the mile also has a lot to offer. We are confident that Way To Dubai (E. Pedroza) will score in his first start of the season.

77,777 euros will be paid out in the "7 wins!" bet in races 2 to 8. 10,000 Euros will be paid out in the four-horse bet of the 3rd race (Equalisation IV, 1,600 m). 15,000 Euros will be paid out in the 7th race (Equalisation I, 1,600 m).
