Ebaiyra Takes Up Munich Challenge
By Tom Frary
In The Aga Khan's centenary year, Ebaiyra (Distorted Humor) looks to provide another highlight in Sunday's G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis – Bayerisches Zuchtrennen. Having enjoyed a confidence-boosting win in the Listed Prix de la Pepiniere at Chantilly July 12, last year's G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud runner-up is looking for a first success at the highest level at which she has been placed on three occasions. Intriguingly, the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained 5-year-old meets Gestut Park Wiedingen's July 3 G1 Deutsches Derby and June 6 G2 Union-Rennen hero Sammarco (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) and Gestut Paschberg's fellow 3-year-old Queroyal (Ger) (Churchill {Ire}) who took the Baden-Baden's G3 Derby-Trial May 28 before finishing ninth behind Sammarco in the domestic Derby.
