The elders smothered last week's G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot, dominating once more in this week's G1 Sussex S. at Goodwood, but the Class of 2019 landed a telling counterpunch as Gestut Park Wiedingen's homebred G1 Deutsches Derby hero Sammarco (Ger) (Camelot {GB}–Saloon Sold {Ger} {SP-Ger}, by Soldier Hollow {GB}) annexed the latest elite-level clash of the generations, doing so with aplomb, in Sunday's 10-furlong G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis – Bayerisches Zuchtrennen at Munich. The 16-5 second favourite was well away to race second passing the judge first time and settled into a smooth rhythm against the fence when slipping one spot along the backstraight. Bustled along to close soon after turning for home, he angled into a clear lane for the final quarter mile and kept on relentlessly under continued rousting to deny Amazing Grace (Ger) (Protectionist {Ger}) by 3/4-of-a-length in the dying strides. The Aga Khan's international globetrotter Ebaiyra (Distorted Humor) held every chance in the straight, but was unable to reach the leaders and ran on to finish a half-length adrift in third as the 13-10 favourite.
