The 3-year-old filly Danedream notched her second straight blowout victory in a German Group 1, winning the Grosser Preis von Baden, Germany’s premier race, by six lengths over Night Magic on Sunday at Baden-baden.

Tracking the pace of Night Magic on a course turned very soft by driving rain, Danedream eased into the lead a quarter-mile from the finish and went unchallenged the rest of the way, winning easily under Andrasch Stark. Joshua Tree, who may return to Woodbine to defend his title in the Canadian International, was left well behind in third.

So You Think won his third Group 1 race of the year, but his manner of victory in the Irish Champion Stakes on Saturday at Leopardstown in Ireland did not match up with his overwhelming favoritism in the race.

Challenged about a quarter-mile from the finish by Snow Fairy, So You Think could never shake clear of that filly, holding on to win by a half-length after an exciting stretch run.

The improving 3-year-old filly Danedream, whose connections may have designs on the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf, heads a field of six entered for the Group 1, $355,000 Grosser Preis von Baden at the Iffizheim course in Germany on Sunday.

Pour Moi, the winner of the English Derby in June, was retired on Saturday after suffering a fetlock injury while exercising earlier in the week, according to a statement from Coolmore Stud in Ireland.

Trained by Andre Fabre, Pour Moi was based with Fabre’s stable in Chantilly, France, when he was injured. He had not started since the English Derby and was considered the favorite for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in October.

“Pour Moi suffered a severe over reach to his near fore fetlock during exercise at Chantilly,” Coolmore said in a statement.

Six fillies entered in the Moyglare Stud Stakes on Sunday at The Curragh in Ireland share a common trait: All have been beaten by Maybe, the undefeated race favorite.

Defending champion Poet’s Voice will be a strong favorite to win his first stakes of 2011 in Saturday’s Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood, England, a race that could have implications for the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Churchill Downs in November.

Poet’s Voice has not started since finishing last of 14 in the Dubai World Cup in March, but solidified his status as the favorite for the Celebration Mile after Strong Suit and Zoffany were withdrawn on Thursday. Poet’s Voice was listed as a 6-4 chance as of Thursday, and will have six rivals.
