TURFDONNA was a surprise winner of last Sunday’s 157th running of the Henkel-Preis der Diana (German Oaks) at Düsseldorf, paying almost 16/1.

It was the third classic success of the 2015 German season for trainer Andreas Wöhler, who can count himself unlucky not to have had a clean sweep as his two main candidates (and hot favourites) for the German Derby both had to be scratched shortly before the race after setbacks.
