ALESSIO great runner-up in 187th Union-Rennen (Gr.2) (06.06.2022)
 
Traditionally, the Union-Rennen held three to four weeks before the Derby is the most important trial with regard to the highlight of the year at Hamburg, hence our ALESSIO entered the gates as one of the contenders in the 187th running of the Gr.2 race over 2200 metres today in Cologne.
The Andreas Wöhler-trained colt had Adrie de Vries in the saddle under whom he presented himself still a little green, but nevertheless from his best side. Certainly not pleased by the slow pace underway, ALESSIO made a great run in the final straight though and, coming from the back of the field, finished third behind the two finishers, who fought a tough battle ahead of the pack.
