    To be honest I don’t know Pirouette at all, but at least the 7f trip is much more favourable for British horses to come over. If she is good enough, she might have a good winning chance, as the German starters in here are no heroines as far as I know, and also our best jockeys are not involved..

    Pirouette is nothing special, Noverre. She was flattered to get so close to Laugh Aloud and Unforgettable Filly and is probably at least 10lbs below that kind of horse.

    What is the opposition like?

    I’ve just seen that J.C.Rouget sends a Frankel daughter called Middle East.
    I don’t know her either, but at least this reads quite dangerous..

    I have seen this Frankel daughter as well, first reaction was wow…..because you wouldn`t see Frankels very often in german races. But the form is nothing Special in my eyes.

    The strongest german horse in this race is probably WILD APPROACH, she was 4th in a Grade3 Race in Goodwood(4th August), so you english guys have a good comparison of form…..personally i this that you cant compare the strengh of listed class horses in Germany with this britain. Although we have real grade 1 performers that could win the biggest races all over the world the average horses aren`t this good.

    So LostSoldier3, if Pirouette is in fact 10lbs below these named i think she will quite well, those named would crush this bunch :-)

    So you are also German, Noverre? That’s nice to read :good: .
    Will you be there at Düsseldorf?
    I more like the smaller races on this day where some of my old faves like Tjerk will appear..

    Yes Hein, i am german too. In fact i am much more interested and punting in british racing. Don`t gambling much in german racing apart from Group Races, Baden and Hamburg :-)

    Maybe i will travel to Dusseldorf an Sunday….usually i only go to the races for the big racedays in Dusseldorf and Cologne(Diana, Guineas, Preis von Europa etc.) and a couple of days Baden Baden.

    I cant win a thing in this small german handicaps...dont like them. But i know your old freind Tjerk:-)

    Do you often visit our races Hein?

    Yes, British racing is on a much higher level, and there are even voices that most of the German racecourses will die within the next years.
    I am not sure if our group races are more predictable, so I have nothing against the smaller races, the betting is difficult in both.
    Well, now and then I visit a racecourse, perhaps tomorrow at Mülheim to witness the final curtain there..

    Couldn´t put you off Pirouette. Wild Approach seems the strongest German contender on form. Maybe stick a saver on Dalila on 16-1. German champion jockey on Dalila for Peter Schiergen. Good two year old form, only beaten by a Gr.3 winner, while beating Listed and Group 3 winners herself. She might have been ante-post favourite for the German Oaks over the winter. Not sure. Did okay on re-appearance in Listed company, 4th less than a length behind the 2nd, but you´d have to forgive her a disappointing run in Italy, when finishing 8th as the favourite in a Listed race. No insider information, just a guess that the horse could go better than his odds.

    Won like a penalty kick WITHOUT goaltender. The rest looked a bit like selling class.

    Very easy win for Pirouette from Wild Approach and like a ten way photo for third. Hope you were on.

    That´s not saying much, when it´s English.

    Well done Noverre :good: , I wouldn’t have thought that she is so outstanding.
    I had only some smaller place bets and won the perfecta with my Tjerk ;-) .

    For Saturday at Baden I would see a similar outstander:
    Adler in the listed with Adrie de Vries.
    He is still unexposed and green, but a great stayer and I see him winning.
    Opinions :scratch: ?

    Hi people, are there already any thoughts on the GP von Baden?
    It’s the first real clash of the 3y, namely Windstoss, against the elder horses.
    Though Iquitos is the obvious one, I see much potential in Windstoss, as he is very well bred (Shirocco vs Sternkönig) and has this wonderful mix of speed and stamina; also he wil probably have Adrie de Vries aboard.
    How would you assess this race?

    I´d say the race is wide open and Windstoss the worst bet at the current odds.
