Ground preferences made the difference today. ELECTRELANE wins the german 1000 Guineas sh to Cherry Danon and 5 to 3rd Waldtraut. 4th Lady of Budysin. Survey 5th.
the final race time on a turning mile was 1m 40.40s , tbh i can"t make head nor tail of the race times at Dusseldorf they are all over the place for various ground descriptions Achim...
the IFHA had Alianthus on a rating of 117 so using him as the Mr consistent yardstick for Dusseldorf doesn"t make this guineas look all that strong yet Laugh out loud wins a 3yo group2 fillies race in Chantilly worth 63k to the winner, i"m left scratching my head as to how good this generation actually are tbh
good race to watch though Achim, i"m very surprised that the race wasn"t awarded to Cherry Danon tbh , in the end only a short head separated the 2 horses at the finish line plus considering after the stewards enquiry they decided on banning Crowley for over use of the whip.......
