Campanologist won his first stakes of 2011 and his third Group 1 race in Germany in the last 15 months in Sunday’s Preis Von Europa at Cologne, Germany.
The 6-year-old Campanologist faced just five rivals and rallied from fifth under jockey Frankie Dettori to finish 1 1/4 lengths in front of the German 3-year-old Ibencio. Earl of Tinsdal, another Germany-based 3-year-old and the 9-10 favorite, finished third, three lengths behind Campanologist. The Preis Von Europa was run over 1 1/2 miles and was worth approximately $210,800.
