Was talking to a German friend online the other day (hopefully she will come on here sometime soon) and apparently the connections of Quijano had valid excuses for his previous two below par runs, and a bold show was expected of him. They were right.

Another thing, which i didn't know about German racing are some of the crazy rules, which they have. He bumped one rival quite badly and basically put him out of the race, so the winning connections have to give compensation out of the winnings to the connection of the horse that was bumped. So, in reality, if you bump one of your main rivals really badly and put them out of the race, the result won't change but you'll just have to pay some compensation....... as my friend said....... it's crazy!

Happy for Quijano, and wish i never doubted him, but i didn't realise about the valid excuses for his latest performances before this race.

Still really disappointed with Youmzain, as Brock said, i haven't got a clue why they didn't use a pacemaker for him.
