Stall Hanse’s Geography will fly the flag for Germany in the G3 Diomed Stakes at Epsom on Derby Day this coming Saturday, according to trainer Peter Schiergen.
A multiple group winner in his native land, the 4-year-old most recently won the G3 Kalkmann-Fruhjahrs-Meile in mid-April and was gelded last month. The son of Holy Roman Emperor will face Archie Watson trainee Brave Emperor (Sioux Nation) in that contest.
“He’s coming over to run, Derby day is a big day, so we will be coming,” said Schiergen, who won the G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (2011) and the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2012) with Danedream (Lomitas), and will saddle Tunnes (Giuliani) in Friday’s G1 Coronation Cup. “I think he is in good form, we have gelded him since his last run which we thought was a good idea and we think he’s in a good place.”
Geography will be ridden by William Buick.
