| The Gerling-Preis marked his first start following a break since the 2013 German Derby, and what a fantastic comeback it was for the now four-year-old Ivanhowe and his sire Soldier Hollow! Jockey Adrie de Vries showed great confidence in the colt holding him in the back of the field through most of the race and waiting patiently for a hole to open up down the stretch. With only a furlong to go, the pair finally found a gap, when Ivanhowe turned on his incredible speed to run down his opponents to land an easy and uncontested victory by 1 ½ lengths. |
