ELEVEN horses were declared for the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Baden, the highlight of the “Grosse Woche” at Baden-Baden and normally the best race of the year in Germany. They include Darius Racing’s Wasir, who has been supplemented and was third last time out in the American St Leger at Arlington Park.

His trainer Andreas Wöhler, however, appears to have a stronger candidate in the three-year-old filly Serienholde, winner of the Preis der Diana (German Oaks) in good style last time out and the mount of stable jockey Eduardo Pedroza. Pagella, seventh in the Diana, reopposes and is not totally out of it, especially as these fillies receive a handy weight advantage.
