This\nweek we are headed to Germany where the running of the G1, The Europe Classic\nwill headline the card.  This race will\nbe going off across a Firm Turf track at the distance of 12 furlongs.  The field will consist of seven horses and\nthey all look well matched in this race. \nPicking winners will be hard on the odds makers today that have\nformulated their morning line.  The post\ndraws have been assigned and with only seven horses in this field there is\nreally no bad post position in this race. \nLet us now take a quick preview of the horses that will be running on\nSaturday here in Germany in the G1, The Europe Classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n 1<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n BLUEFISH\n LASAGNE B\n <\/td>\n KY\n <\/td>\n 4M\n <\/td>\n barbstars<\/a>\n <\/td>\n L Fenner\n <\/td>\n 14\n <\/td>\n 5\n <\/td>\n 64%\n <\/td>\n $653,484\n <\/td>\n 157.00\n <\/td>\n 4\/1\n <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

This\nis a four year old Bay Colt that is a scratch bred (<\/strong>POINT OF ENTRY x\nRAHY x SADLER’S WELLS)<\/strong> who has had fourteen prior starts and that has hit\nthe boards in nine of those races.  He\nwon the G1, The Good Day in Paris back in April of this year.  He has had two more G1 starts since winning\nthat race of which he has had some trouble. \nHis most recent start came on 07\/24\/2021 when he traveled 12 furlongs in\nSurrey in the G1, King Geoff and Queen Beth\u2019s Emerald Stakes.  He ran fairly flat in that race and never\nfound the kick in his stride down the stretch to close late as we have seen him\ndo in the past.  He finished up that race\nwith a 111 speed rating and crossed the wire back in sixth.  For the race here in Germany the owner is\ncalling in jockey, L Fenner from Japan to come in and take to the saddle and\nhelp guide this horse across the turf. \nThe jockey needs to find that kick again out of this colt if he is to\nfind himself on the boards.  They will\nsaddle up and head out on Saturday representing the Hoosier Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next\nout we have this five year old Bay Horse sired by Dubawi<\/strong> who has twenty prior starts and twelve hits on the\nboards.  This horse has had several prior\nGraded starts but has never picked up a win at this level.  He has not been running in Graded level races\nin recent starts, but the owner is giving his horse another opportunity here on\nSaturday.  His most recent trip to the\ntrack came on 06\/17\/2021 when he went out in Paris going 8 furlongs in a $39000\nNW2y Allowance.  He tried to make up some\nground in his stretch run and got to the wire in third with a 109 speed\nrating.  Turning to Germany on Saturday\nthe owner is calling in jockey, R Whisper who will be coming in from Surrey to\ntake the mount up top.  This horse has\nnot faced this kind of company in a race for awhile and the jockey is going to\nneed to have his ride ready for the challenge when they break from their post\ndraw representing the Universal Racking Club residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis a five year old scratch bred (<\/strong>MULTIDIMENSIONAL x ADCAT x SIMPLEX (FR))<\/strong>\nwho in twenty prior starts has hit the boards in fifteen of his races.  He has been doing well for his owner this\nseason only missing the boards in one of his races of which he placed fourth in\nthe G2, The Sanka High.  But he was all\nbusiness in his most recent start on 08\/15\/2021 when he ran in Japan going 11.5\nfurlongs in the G2, Shimko Classic.  He\nstayed close to the leaders in this race and by the time he got to the third\ncall he had found his way to the front and went on to get up for the win by two\nand a half with a 115 speed rating.  For\nthe race here in Germany the owner will be calling in jockey, H Artack from\nTurkey to come in and take the mount. \nThis jockey has some experience on this horse and they will pair up\ntogether here on Saturday to see if this horse can get to the wire first for\nhis third win in a row.  They will saddle\nup and come out in the post parade representing the Hoosier Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n 4<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n TUMEREMO\n <\/td>\n ENG\n <\/td>\n 5M\n <\/td>\n grenoble2<\/a>\n <\/td>\n D Matas\n <\/td>\n 23\n <\/td>\n 5\n <\/td>\n 52%\n <\/td>\n $620,722\n <\/td>\n 60.00\n <\/td>\n 5\/1\n <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

Next\nup we have this five year old Bay Horse that was sired by Frankel<\/strong> and that is out of EOY winning mare, London Guildhall<\/strong>.  This horse\nhas twenty-three starts in his career and has found the boards in twelve of his\nraces.  He has had a lot of recent trips\ngoing 12 furlongs lately and did find a second place finish in Newmarket on\n07\/04\/2021 in the G2, The Princess of Whales. \nHis most recent trip to the track came on 08\/07\/2021 in New York when he\nran in the G1, Sword Swallowers Stakes. \nIn this race he tried to make a late closing effort but could not quite\nget there when he ended up crossing the wire in fifth with a 107 speed\nrating.  Sights are now set on Germany\nwhere he will be getting his regular jockey, D Matas from Paris to once again\ntake the ride with this horse.  They are\na regular pairing and this jockey knows how to ride this horse and how he likes\nto run.  They will saddle up and make\ntheir way to their post draw on Saturday representing the Universal Racing Club\nresidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n 5<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n CHATON\n <\/td>\n KY\n <\/td>\n 4M\n <\/td>\n stormboot<\/a>\n <\/td>\n D Evans\n <\/td>\n 18\n <\/td>\n 8\n <\/td>\n 67%\n <\/td>\n $655,751\n <\/td>\n 128.50\n <\/td>\n 7\/2\n <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

This is a four year old Light Grey Colt who was sired by Kitten\u2019s Joy<\/strong> and that is out of EOY winning mare, Mon Coup<\/strong>.  This horse has eighteen prior starts and has found the boards in twelve of his races.  This horse is coming off three straight wins in a row which includes a win in the G3, Great Beer Cap and the G2, The Einstein Stakes.  His most recent trip to the track came on 08\/14\/2021 in Sweden where he traveled 11 furlongs in a Listed Stakes, Bxcvn Turf Stayer where he battled it out at the wire to get up by a neck with a 115 speed rating.  For the race here in Germany the owner is calling in a very familiar jockey, D Evans to take the ride.  This jockey knows this horse and knows how to handle him.  This could be the front runner in this race and this horse has gone gate to wire in the past.  The jockey will saddle up in the paddock and come out in the post parade representing the Midas residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next\nup we have this four year old Bay Gelding that was sired by Redoute\u2019s Choice<\/strong> who in thirteen prior\nstarts has found the boards in seven of his races.  This horse has ran at the Listed Stakes level\nin his two most recent starts.  As he\nstepped up in Class he was met with a couple of disappointing starts.  His most recent race came on 08\/07\/2021 in\nIreland where he went 11 furlongs in a Listed Stakes, Nirvana Filter Turf\nStayer.  He was unable to find the fire\nin his legs needed to factor in this race.  He takes a big jump in Class coming here to\nGermany to compete in his first Graded outing. \nThe owner has secured the services of jockey, M Jolly who will be flying\nin from Vermont to take his spot up top in this race.  This jockey is going to need to find some\nextra effort out of this horse when they break from their gate representing The\nMinnesota Testbarn Residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n 7<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n LAVISH\n IMPACT\n <\/td>\n JPN\n <\/td>\n 5G\n <\/td>\n walmtk<\/a>\n <\/td>\n M Kelly\n <\/td>\n 22\n <\/td>\n 6\n <\/td>\n 64%\n <\/td>\n $701,783\n <\/td>\n 134.00\n <\/td>\n 7\/2\n <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

This\nis a 5 year old Bay Gelding that was sired by Deep Impact<\/strong> who is had twenty-two career starts with fourteen hits\non the boards.  He has had a few good\nraces for his owner this season and last year he ran second here in Germany in\nthe G1, The Europe Classic.  He looks to\nsee if he improves upon that this Saturday as he returns here to run\nagain.  His most recent trip to the track\ncame on 07\/04\/2021 in Newmarket where he traveled 12 furlongs in the G2, The\nPrincess of Whales.  He lingered well\nback early in this race but when he turned for home he fired during his stretch\nrun and was able to find the wire first by one and a quarter with a 109 speed\nrating.  This horse should be a contender\nhere in Germany and the owner is calling in a familiar jockey, M Kelly from\nDelaware to come in and take to the saddle with his horse.  The jockey should know how this late closer\nlikes to run and he needs to keep him close enough in this race to make a big\nlate move when they break from their gate representing the GR Simsters\nresidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck to all\nowners and horses!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
