On the runners, from Racing Post...

Dettori and pals face stiff task in Germany
By David Conolly-Smith4.53PM 3 JUL 2009


FRANKIE DETTORI, Richard Hughes, Ted Durcan and Darryll Holland all ride in the Deutsches Derby on Sunday - but none of them is on one of the favourites.

Dettori rides Hansom, third in Munich on June 1 a short head and one and a half lengths behind Saphir and the Godolphin colt which he rode on that occasion, Peligroso.

Durcan partners Quo Dubai who ran fourth in that race, while Holland is on Frantic Storm, third to the Derby favourite Suestado at Hanover last time.

Hughes rides Egon, still a maiden after four attempts but a fair fourth behind Wiener Walzer, Oriental Lion and Panyu after making the running until two furlongs from home in the Group 2 Union-Rennen at Cologne three weeks ago.

Holland and Hughes are both riding for Cologne trainer Waldemar Hickst, whose string is in great form - but stable jockey Andreas Suborics prefers the only filly in the field Bolivia, who was supplemented last week after finishing second to Miss Europa in the Group 2 Diana Trial.

However, Jens Hirschberger may hold the aces with Wiener Walzer and Suestado. Although Wiener Walzer holds the highest rating of the 17 runners, stable jockey Adrie de Vries has chosen the unbeaten Suestado.

A three-quarters brother to the Prix de Diane winner Stacelita, this son of Monsun has created a very positive impression in his two victories.

Saphir represents the team of Peter Schiergen, who has won the Derby three times this century, and Andrasch Starke, successful five times since 1998, but the form of the Munich race won by Saphir does not look as good as the Cologne form of Wiener Walzer.

The Listed race at Hanover won by Suestado over 1m3f on June 1 has - under various names - thrown up three of the last four Derby winners Adlerflug (2007), Schiaparelli (2006) and Nicaron (2005).

This could be a great week for Adlerflug's trainer, Hirschberger, who also has high hopes with Irian in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly.

Wiener Walzer wins Deutsches Derby
By David Conolly-Smith6.40PM 5 JUL 2009

WIENER WALZER gave Gestut Schlenderhan its 18th victory in the Deutsches Derby during the century-and-a-half history of the great stud farm at Hamburg on Sunday.

It was a particularly poignant moment for connections as the owner, Baroness Karin von Ullmann, died little more than a month ago.

The 36-10 shot's victory was a triumph for the Swedish rider Fredrik Johansson who was winning the race for the second time in three years, each time on trainer Jens Hirschberger's second string.

Suestado, who started favourite, was well placed until approaching the straight but then dropped out and was eased by Adrie de Vries.

Ted Durcan finished fifth on Quo Dubai while Darryll Holland was eighth on Frantic Storm, Richard Hughes ninth on Egon and Frankie Dettori tenth of the 17 runners on Hansom.

Dettori, who was pressing the leaders entering the straight, said: Hansom is a nice colt but he needs soft ground."

Holland and Hughes were never nearer than midfield.

Quo Dubai was hampered at the start when Oriental Lion, who was drawn on the outside, reared as the gates opened and bumped Bolivia onto him.

Durcan settled Quo Dubai at the back and he was still last into the straight. His 52-1 mount then ran on up the outside to join several other outsiders in pursuit of Wiener Walzer.

That son of Dynaformer battled on to score by one and a quarter lengths from Sordino, Toughness Danon and Eliot, who were divided by two necks. Quo Dubai was two lengths further back.

Hirschberger, who also trained Adlerflug to win with Johansson up two years ago, said: "We have not discussed plans for the winner and we're still trying to find out what went wrong with Suestado."

As an aside, did anyone ever hear anything more on Adlerflug?

Hope he made it.
