| Friday’s race card at Munich saw a surprise winner that made us really proud: Soldier Hollow’s Aurelio Real took the €52,000 BBAG Auktionsrennen, a 1600 m race for two-year-olds previously offered in the BBAG Sales ring – and he did so in promising fashion. Unimpressed by the soft turf, long shot Aurelio Real developed a great deal of late speed under apprentice jockey Bayarsaikhan Ganbat and finished nearly two lengths ahead of second favorite Springbook Flyer. The colt is in training with Sascha Smrczek in Düsseldorf for owner Christoph Holschbach and was bred by Uwe Grüning. The Soldier Hollow-filly Swingdream finished fifth in the field of twelve. |
