Goliath Wins Großer Preis von Baden in Start-to-Finish Display

Connections now weigh a Preis von Europa bid in Cologne pending trainer Francis-Henri Graffard's call.

Overview

  • Ridden by Clement Lecoeuvre, the five-year-old gelding led throughout the 2400-meter test to secure the victory.
  • The €300,000 Grand Prix at Iffezheim drew about 17,000 spectators for its 155th running.
  • English favorite Dubai Honour under Tom Marquand took second, with Straight ridden by Thore Hammer-Hansen in third.
  • Derby winner Hochkönig was withdrawn shortly before the start because of a hoof injury.
  • Goliath, owned by Philip von Ullmann and American businessman John Stewart, rebounded after an Ascot win last year was followed by poor runs in Japan and Hong Kong.
