Torsten Mundry will start exploring outside Germany with Durban Thunder after his victory in Sunday’s Grosser Dallmayr-Preis in Munich.
It was the five-year-old’s first win at Group One level as he defeated Dermot Weld’s Irish raider Famous Name by a length and a half.
“We are preparing him for the Prix Dollar at Longchamp on Arc weekend and after that we may look at something like Hong Kong,” the trainer reported.
Mundry, who used to be a jockey, is based in show-jumping country around Warendorf and looks like becoming a European handler to follow.
“This is my third year now – I won the German Oaks last year and we’ve had seven Group winners so far,” he said.
“I have two or three very supportive owners.
“Durban Thunder would be the best horse at the moment, but hopefully we can have more.”
