Number 199 was the four-year-old mare Tilda Rangau an hour earlier. Figge has been looking after racehorses in Riem since 2006, and a win in a steeplechase race also contributed to the anniversary win. His colleague from Riem, Werner Glanz, was also a double winner on Sunday – he won with the seven-year-old Wynono and, at the end of the race day, with the four-year-old Leonello.

Second place for Fantastic Moon in the Grand Dallmayr Prize

In the main event of the day, the Grand Dallmayr Prize with prize money of 155,000 euros, there was no winner from Munich, but there was further glory for the training location, as Fantastic Moon, trained by Sarah Steinberg, took an excellent second place in the Group I race over 2,000m.
“We don’t have to hide behind the winner,” said Moon rider Rene Piechulek. “There’s no need to be sad.” The lead of the seven participants in the 2,000m race of the “Champions League of Horse Racing” was then taken over by the English guest Nations Pride, rather out of necessity. “Trainer Charlie Appleby told me before the race that I should stay in the front field and take the lead myself if there was no pace,” said winning rider William Buick. “He is an uncomplicated horse and has already won from the front.”

The four-year-old Nations Pride won by three lengths, ahead of Fantastic Moon, who in turn left the winners of the previous two years – Sammarco and Skalleti – behind. The Bavarian Breeding Race has been run since 1866, and since 1996 under the patronage of Dallmayr. During this period, it was already the fourth victory for the world-famous blue racing colours of Godolphin, which belongs to the ruler of Dubai, Sheik Mohammed al Maktoum, who is possibly the largest owner of racehorses in the world.

List victory goes to France

There was also a guest victory in the second sporting highlight of the day, the Konrad Wille Memorial. The three-year-old mare Kimi Orenda, trained in France by Christophe Ferland, won the listed race for mares over 1,400m with prize money of 25,000 euros. The winning rider was Enzo Corallo. Dishina came in second. “We are satisfied and will keep trying to win a race of this kind,” said Peter Schiergen, who trains Dishina for the Park Wiedingen stud farm.

Another sporting highlight was the Dallmayr Coupe Lukull – run this year in memory of the recently deceased racing journalist David Conolly-Smith. The most important handicap race of the day, a handicap I over 1,600m with prize money of 17,000 euros, was won by Westminster Night with Jozef Bojko in the saddle. Andreas Wöhler is the trainer.
