For this race meeting, the necessary number of entries needed for these 8 races (excluding the two Group races) will be 500.
As said, new closing date and think it could be interesting for "smaller" owners to gain some blacktype in the fillies race, and even for the odd Handicapper. Even allowing the Transport costs this looks a big chance to earn smart money. There aren´t that many good horses in Germany anymore norty
