THERE was a French-trained winner of the Group 1 Deutsches Derby on Sunday, but in every other respect it was a home win. Owned by Gestüt Schlenderhan and bred by Stall Ullman, In Swoop was winning for just the second time when he landed the premier German classic.

He warmed up for this victory when running third in the Group 2 Prix Greffulhe and he has some tasty entries ahead.
