On both occasions, Rene Piechulek was in the saddle; despite a fall in the previous race, he was able to continue riding. \u201cI was rewarded straight away for sticking with it,\u201d said the jockey. Hillis\u2019s second victory was secured by multiple German champion jockey Bauyrzhan Murzabavey, who triumphed in the Cargarantie Cup \u2013 a Class III handicap over 1,500 metres \u2013 with the seven-year-old mare Djariya.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/><strong>V7 bet wins 12,500 euros<\/strong><br\/>Like Piechulek, Patrick Gibson also won two races. He steered the five-year-old Adios Amor, owned and trained by Corinna Huber, to victory in the BDK race over 2,000 metres. To round off the day\u2019s racing, he went one better in the Honda Cup over 1,500 metres. Golden Time, also a five-year-old, is trained by Jutta Mayer in Riem. Golden Time\u2019s victory meant that the V7 bet \u2013 in which punters must correctly predict the winners of seven races \u2013 was won by two betting tickets. Each ticket won 12,500 euros.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>The main event in Munich began with a trotting race, which Josef Franzl won with My Way Fortuna. The stallion took the lead midway down the home straight and was able to hold off a powerful late charge from Teatox (M. Bock), who, having been at the back of the field for most of the race, finished very strongly. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>The youngsters kicked off the racing action. In the Goodyear Cup, with a prize fund of 10,0000 euros, Dimitri \u2013 trained by Henk Grewe \u2013 lived up to expectations with an easy victory. The clear favourite in the small field of four finished four lengths ahead of Wiema. \u201cThat was very easy for him,\u201d said champion jockey Thore Hammer-Hansen after the win. \u201cHe\u2019s very professional and could have gone much faster.\u201d    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/><strong>The Grand Dallmayr Prize on 27 July<\/strong><br\/><br\/>The H\u00e4usler After-Work Race Day is one of the Munich Racing Club\u2019s most popular events. With around 10,000 spectators, the event once again proved a huge draw, and Secretary-General Sascha Multerer was delighted. \u201cA great atmosphere, thrilling races and, above all, a wonderful summer\u2019s evening \u2013 horse racing at its most enjoyable!\u201d And the very next race day, on 26 July in Munich, promises to be a highlight. The focus will be on the Grand Dallmayr Prize, one of only seven Group I races \u2013 the very best that German horse racing has to offer.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a day of racing for John David Hillis: the former Irish jockey has been a trainer at the Munich-Riem racecourse since 2010, but yesterday\u2019s H\u00e4usler After Work Race Day was unusually successful even for an experienced trainer like him: \u201cWinning three races at my home track is something very special,\u201d said Hillis. \u201cI love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7154"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7155,"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7154\/revisions\/7155"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galoppmuenchen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
