Dallmayr Prize attracts the elite to Munich

Munich, Sunday, July 30th: On Sunday, turf fans will once again be looking to Munich when the Grand Dallmayr Prize (Group I, EUR 155,000, 2,000 m), an absolutely top event, is held here.

Of course, most of the looks will go to the local hero Fantastic Moon (R. Piechulek), who will be back at the start for the first time since his triumph in Hamburg. Maybe he can emulate Sammarco (A. de Vries), who made the Derby/Dallmayr double in 2022. He is also doing the honors in Riem again. Best of Lips (M. Seidl) and Best Lightning (T. Hammer-Hansen) are fresh group winners. A tough touchstone is Stall Godolphin`s Nations Pride (W. Buick), because his brilliant performances from Dubai are still well remembered. The Frenchman Skalleti (A. Orani) excelled here two years ago and comes again from France with very good chances.

Ten races are waiting between 11:20 a.m. and 4:40 p.m., of which the first five stages also belong to the PMU map in France. In the Konrad Werner Wille-Memorial (listed race, 25,000 euros, 1,400 m) the game seems quite open, maybe Sunset Lane (W. Panov) is far ahead after the recent placement against guests from France.

In the Dallmayr Coupe Lukull - David Conolly-Smith-Memorial (compensation I, 1,600 m), See Paris (L. Delozier) could again offer more than on group parquet. He even started in the derby.

10,000 euros are up for grabs in the four-way bet of the 5th race (level III, 1.600 m). Wynono (S. Biessey) and Funky Lady (A. v. d. Troost) are possible options. The V4 bet offered in races 2 to 5 is worth 10,000 euros.
