Django Freeman Takes the Bavarian Classic

[Wandering Eyes]

Runner-up in the G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten at Cologne in October, Django Freeman (Ger) (Campanologist) emerged with the bragging rights all to himself in the G3 Bavarian Classic at Munich on Wednesday. Always travelling strongly tracking the front pair, the 9-5 favourite was just waiting for the instruction from Lukas Delozier and when given it in the straight grabbed Quest the Moon (Ger) (Sea the Moon {Ger}) a furlong from home and stretched out for a 1 1/2-length verdict.
