| Our specialist for long distances NIKKEI made his annual debut in the RaceBets.de Steher-Cup at Cologne today. The five-year-old had Marco Casamento aboard for the €12.500 Listed race over 3000m where he enjoyed an uneventful trip and was taken to task in the outer lane of the final straight. There NIKKEI responded promptly and drew home gamely in a thrilling finish where he secured a super second place with a short head advantage. Waldemar Hickst prepares the colt, who was a G3 winner over the same distance in 2018. |
