There’s not only a winter meeting in Paris. There’s also a winter meeting in Straubing. The race track in the South of Germany presents nine races on Monday, Januar 6th. A total of six race days will take place in January and February.
1st race: Who will win the first race in Straubing 2025? Marie Lindinger is very keen on winning. Her mare Blind Date was always only beaten by good horses. Lambo Fortuna raced very well in Munich. Blue Edition caused a big suprise in December and loves his driver. Remus Eck is presented by a very interesting young driver.
Our pick:
(8) Blind Date – (5) Blue Edition – (1) Lambo Fortuna – (6) Remus Eck
2nd race: A widely open race. Teatox won a ridden race in Paris, he is very good for his class but the race track in Straubing is a little handicap for him. Casino Royale deceived in Munich, normally he’s much better. Flash Gordon adores the Straubing race track. River Flow succeeded in Italy, he is very classy but the task is not too easy.
Our pick:
(7) Teatox – (5) Casino Royale - (8) River Flow – (6) Flash Gordon
3rd race: Victory Ares moved from Austria to Bavaria and he’s a real crack now. His driver also is very successful at the moment. Augustiner drew the second line, he normally uses to run in the lead. Lennarth is very strong and in good shape. Inaaya is consistent and good.
Our pick:
(5) Victory Ares – (10) Augustiner – (6) Lennerth – (8) Inaaya
4th race: Again a very open race with good horses. Ocean Eyes comes from a layoff, he’s training very well and he’s a very good horse. Perceval doesn’t mind being on the outside and is still very strong. Dream of Action loves small race tracks as such is Straubing and will try to reach the front here. Major Sheba H tries to avoid this, he is also very fast behind the gate. Rimski is a very classy horse and can also win. Velten Chicago also has to be considered early.
Our pick:
(8) Perceval – (4) Ocean Eyes – (5) Rimski – (6) Dream of Action
5th race: Tequila Sunrise is better than ever. She was allowed to take over the lead and won very easily. Marilyn Boko is a very complicated but also very good mare. Also Lorette As is very classy, she can win, too. Noble Steel’s comeback has to be followed.
Our pick:
(3) Tequila Sunrise – (8) Marilyn Boko – (2) Lorette As – (4) Nobel Steel
6th race: Mister Lord Venus always meets tough opponents and deserves a victory. Neuf du Pape is much better than the last results show, he will be dangerous after a break. Jallia Sege has a good driver in her bike and will fight for the 2nd and 3rd place together with Derby Winner.
Our pick:
(5) Mister Lord Venus – (7) Neuf du Pape – (8) Jallia Sege – (6) Derby Winner

Our pick:
(7) Ontaria – (6) Great Darkness Fire – (5) Magic retouch – (8) Kador du Choquel
8th race: If Foxtrot Jet can avoid mistakes, he is clearly the best horse in this race. Unfinished Business galopped when Christoph Fischer attacked with her, she’s a really good filly who will also fight for victory here. Sly is presented by a very good driver. Ivoire de Larré can cause a little suprise here if he stays calm.
Our pick:
(5) Foxtrot Jet – (3) Unfinished Business – (8) Sly – (6) Ivoire de Larré
9th race: DJ Masi is not really reliable, but without a mistake and with the right trip clearly the horse to beat. Wingback Design is well drawn and consistent and good. Donna des Bois‘ number is a little bit tricky because the filly is not so easy behind the gate, but she will soon score her first win if she avoids mistakes. Ideolog is a very interesting outsider with his strong driver.
Our pick:
(11) DJ Masi – (2) Wingback Design – (1) Donna des Bois – (6) Ideolog
