Sunday’s Global Big Race Round-Up

While Sunday’s UK action is fairly modest, much bigger encounters are taking place all over the world. You can bet on all of the following black-type encounters, today with RaceBets…

Germany (Cologne)

Meilen Trophy – Group 2 (3:45pm)

For 3 year olds and upwards

Distance: 7f210y

For 3 year olds and upwards

Distance: 1m1f1y

Purse: 115,000 EUR

Ryan Moore takes the reins on Aidan O’Brien’s Pocketfullofdreams, but both Laganore and Turret Rocks are being more heavily backed.

Minstrel Stakes – Group 2 (3:45pm)

For 3 year olds and upwards

Distance: 7f

Purse: 120,000 EUR

An impressive British cavalry has been sent across the Irish Sea, for this 7 furlong contest. Dutch Connection, Mubtasim, Stormy Antarctic and So Beloved will all fly the Union-Jack. Aidan O’Briens’s Spirit Of Valor looks the best of the Irish runners.

France (Maisons-Laffitte)

For 3 year olds

Distance: 1m1f207y

Purse: 130,000 EUR

Prix Messidor – Group 3 (4:10pm)

For 3 year olds and upwards

Distance: 7f210y

Michael Figge’s Shutterbug is the sole German raider and the 5-year-old appears to be up against it here. This looks like a duel between Al Wukair and Jean-Claude Rouget’s Taareef.
