God you scared the crap outta me..... I thought it was gonna be about Kieren Fallon. Whew.

I had never heard of him... looked him up, one win (Baden Baden). No idea... one to watch? I didn't know a single name in the field.

Fill us in!

Looks more suited to Dirt than turf but without knowledge of the opposition very hard to distinguish

Its lock like that horse name DIABOLICAL, remember his first races in I dont remember wich country, and he went this year to DUBAI and did nothing.
Sometimes in ship races and on other minor cuality, you may fine wath it seam to be a super horse, but depends against how his is racing.
I don get to much excited for this one. Sorry

Racing Post...


Hungarian star sprinter set for stiffest test

Neil Clark

HUNGARIAN sprinter Overdose, whose unbeaten exploits have led to comparisons with the legendary Kincsem, will bid to extend his winning sequence to ten in Sunday's Group 2 Goldene Peitsche at Baden-Baden.

Sandor Ribarszki's Starborough colt, who has won all of his nine starts by an aggregate of 85 and a half lengths, recorded his latest victory in the Group 3 Lotto-Trophy at Hamburg at last month – despite not being at his best following a hoof problem.

Connections have said that after Sunday's 6f event, the three-year-old will head to Longchamp for the Prixde L'Abbaye on October 5, where he will bid to become the first-ever Hungarian trained winner of the race.
However he fares on Sunday, Overdose has quite a way to go before he emulates Kincsem, Hungary's star of the Victorian era who wentunbeaten in 54 races.

Overdose faces his most testing assignment to date on Sunday, when he will face a maximum of eight rivals in the €70,000 race, including three British-trained entries, all of them Group 3 winners, namely the Michael Jarvis-trained Ancien Regime, Intrepid Jack (Hughie Morrison) and Starlit Sands (Sir Mark Prescott).

Also in the field is the German-trained dual Group 3 winner Abbadjinn who finished second to Overdose at Hamburg last month, and the French-trained Group 3 winner Mariol, who finished third in the Hamburg race.

I was speaking to some German friends of mine at Newmarket last Friday and I asked them about him. To be honest, the report was quite downbeat. He looks impressive in his races but he is yet to beat any serious horses by all accounts.

His wins are likely to be as good as he is.

I hope he runs well in this Gr2, as it's the race my father's horse won a few years ago.

yeah, he has been making a few noises over here - Its very difficult to know exactly what to make of his form - Germans are hardly known for their sprinters, but he is winning them by good margins and has yet to be tested really. We've already had a Spanish trained winner at Royal Ascot, why not a Hungarian trained winner at the Arc meeting..

I was standing beside a fair few Hungarian fans all dressed up in Hungarian flags and they went crazy when Overdose "won" the Abbaye not realising that it was a false start. Then he was declared a non runner for the real race!! They must have been shattered

it was such a shame about the circumstances of his last race, as he would have been difficult to beat from the front that day, on softish ground that we know he loves. On quicker ground, he may find it a bit tougher, but he does have oodles of class that would carry him a long way..
