Comeback of Wonnemond

Lyon, Monday, 26 June: Eight interesting races are on the programme at the Hippodrome de Lyon today. A German victory is on the horizon in the Prix Albert Swann (3rd race/14.58 h/22.000 Euro/1600 m).

Sarah Steinberg will saddle Runnymede (Rene Piechulek), who was successful three times in a row in France last year, for the Salzburg stable. Before his break, he ran at List level in Vichy and just missed another score. But in second place he kept Amedras (Eddy Hardouin) and Integrant (Clement Lecoeuvre) safely at bay. The latter two attracted attention with good placings this year. The comeback of Wonnemond (Augustin Madamet) from the stable of Sascha Smrczek is eagerly awaited. The group and list winner finished third in his last group 3 appearance in Italy. Loliwood (Frida Valle Skar) and Perle Rouge (Guillaume Millet) have recommended themselves with two current honours. Explore The Shore (Ethel Rabhi) has little chance.
