GERMANY - Kamsin made all the pace on soft ground in the Gr 1 German Derby and had plenty of power in reserve for a comfortable victory in the classic at Hamburg.
Trained by Peter Schiergen, Kamsin cruised across the finish line three lengths in front of stablemate Ostland, who beat British-based Top Lock by a half-length for second in the 16-runner field.
Kamsin covered the 2400 metres in 2:39.29, providing Schiergen with his third victory in the race. A five-time champion jockey and three-time leading trainer in Germany, Schiergen won the German Derby in 2001 with Boreal and with Schiaparelli in 2006.
In a departure from original plans, Kamsin was sent to the front early by jockey Andrasch Starke and had too much in reserve for Ostland and Gr 2 King Edward VII Stakes third-place finisher Top Lock.
