Martin Seidl was not the only rider with more than one win in Weidenpescher Park, in the last race of the day Dr. Andreas Bolte also followed suit. Early Spirit, trained by him, won the race for older winless horses as the 1.9:1 favorite in the AXA Agency Udo Brausen Prize after starting from last place.
For a long time in the home straight it looked like Waldemar Hickst’s Flying Sonya would win her first career victory, but the favorite won right on the line. And that was despite the fact that the favorite was riderless for a few minutes before the race, but none of that bothered the winner from the Bolte stable.
“He was a bit of a sniff at the last moment in Baden-Baden, so today I really wanted to be in front at the finish,” explained winning rider Michael Cadeddu after his success in the final meters. The owner of the winner is the Königsesch stable and the trainer himself is responsible for breeding. Bavaria completed the 3.6:1 favorite bet far behind. Erika Mäder’s protégé was ridden by Thore Hammer-Hansen, and the man with the golden armband thus came third for the fourth time.
