It was his first victory despite some good perfomances so far, in particular finishing third at the German Derby in Hamburg behind Wiener Walzer and Sordino. Toughness Danon, trained by Andreas Woehler, won the 113. Fuerstenberg-Rennen (Gr.III, 2.000m, 50.000 Euro) ahead of outsiders Palermo and Falun. "He will probably only run once more this season, probably in Cologne at the Preis von Europa", Woehler said. Jockey Josef Bojko stepped in for German champion rider Eduardo Pedroza, who fell on Saturday at Baden-Baden and got seriously injured. "It was my first Group win as a jockey", Bojko said.

The KABA Badener Steher-Cup (Listed, 2.800m, 20.000 Euro) was a very fascinating affaire. Northern Glory from the Munich yard of Wolfgang Figge won against Caudillo and La Tournesol.
