Wittekindshof's hopeful for this year's 152nd running of the German Derby (G1) Elegant Maximus finished today's Listed level Derby-Trial at Duesseldorf with a great third place. Martin Seidl was on board the Maxios son, who came charging from midfield for a gutsy finish which saw him book an excellent third place after 2200 metres, one and a half lengths behind the runner-up. Markus Klug is the trainer responsible for the colt, who is a grandson of the great Elle Danzig.
