Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 28, 2020 Journalists Share Posted April 28, 2020 Pattern racing is due to return at Cologne in Germany next Friday with the G2 Carl Jespers Preis and the G3 Cologne Classic, and North Yorkshire-based trainer Karl Burke is hoping he will be permitted to run Kelly’s Dino (Fr) (Doctor Dino {Fr}) and Emaraty Hero (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) in those 12 and 10 furlong contests, respectively. “I’m not sure we will be allowed to run, but I’ve not heard for definite yet,” Burke said. “We want to run, the horses are ready to run, but having spoken to a few trainers in Germany, we might not be allowed to travel. “If we are allowed to run, we will have to see how we get them there. The Channel Tunnel is still running, so I don’t think it would be a major issue and it would be possible to do it within the confines of isolation and safety.” German racing is set to return on Monday behind closed doors at Dortmund, with listed races at Hannover on Thursday before Friday’s pattern action. French racing is set to follow on May 11, with France Galop already ruling out foreign runners until June at least.
