In the introductory race, the guests from the Netherlands are almost among themselves. Three of the five starters travel from the neighboring country, Andrasch Starke has the best chances with the New Topmodel trained by Romy van der Meulen.
The hearts of older turff fans will beat faster when they remember the heyday of the Zoppenbroich stud from Mönchengladbach-Rheydt. A few years ago, the stud went into new ownership, and on Friday a horse with almost the same Zoppenbroicher colors will start again for the first time. In the price of the SWK open air cinema, this is Corfu, steered by jockey Sean Byrne.

But the big favorites are Calif, trained by Peter Schiergen, Röttgener Wellenbrecher, ridden by Andrasch Starke, and Rosenart, who is being prepared by Andreas Suborics. Alida Blume, who, together with her father, Hans Albert Blume, sees Carl’s Meteor in the race. “Very good horses start in this race. For Carl’s Meteor it is only the second start in life. He should continue to learn.” The “Fun.Wettstar.de-Prize” will be decided over 2200 meters, in which Parmenter, trained by Axel Kleinkorres in Mülheim an der Ruhr, should be the horse to beat according to the last impression in Cologne. With the last start at 6:30 p.m., the sporting events come to an end, but the DJ in the music pavilion will continue to create a good atmosphere after the races.
