Stall Bergholz's one-from-five Listed Dortmund Derby Trial runner-up Dardanos (Soldier Hollow) was an unconsidered 84-1 chance for Sunday's G1 Idee 157th Deutsches Derby at Hamburg and belied his monster odds to provide trainer Andreas Wohler with a sixth renewal of Germany's Blue Riband.Wohler's first success came via Pik Konig (Konigsstuhl) in 1992 and his latest winners include Isfahan (Lord Of England) in 2016 and 2019 hero Laccario (Scalo).“He is such an easy horse to ride, so I was happy to be booked and really looked forward to the race,” said jockey Wladimir Panov after registering his first win in the contest. “He is so relaxed, he does everything you want and I had an excellent trip. It is an emotional moment and I am overjoyed.”Stall Bergholz's Friedrich von Lenthe added, “I can't yet believe what has happened. We were hoping to maybe get placed, or perhaps finish in the first five or six home, but to win is awesome.”Wohler continued, “One of Dardanos's owners is a Hamburg native and that is something very special. Dardanos definitely needed his latest outing and he improved for that, but we did not really know just how much. Winning the Derby always is and always will be so very special.”Dardanos, one of three contenders representing Wohler, was the last to load and first into stride and accepted a tow in second before slipping to fourth once past halfway.Repeating this week's popular tactic of heading wide with the field off the home turn, he gained an edge passing the quarter-mile and stayed on relentlessly under continued rousting in the closing stages to prevail by a length and the same from the Liberty Racing duo Chiefland (Study Of Man) and Salitos (In Swoop). Kairos (Zarak), another Liberty Racing nominee, finished two lengths back in fourth. IDEE 157.
