Quijano will have a race here, but he could still be good enough.. What a race this early in the season!!

Collier Hill is an accomplished world traveler. Vengeance of Rain can be a monster on his best. I've followed Quijano through his Carnival races and have been impressed.
I noted in his PP's that he's very light on Group races, despite being only once beaten. Is there a restriction on geldings is group races in Germany? It seems odd that after his maiden win at second asking he ran though about 7 straight wins without running in Group company.

Too bad.....

Collier Hill out.
