With effect from July 1st, 2014, rules relating to eligibility for Handicap races in Germany have changed. Previously, a horse trained outside Germany was only entitled to run in Category 1 and 2 Handicaps and was required to have been allotted a Handicap Rating in its home country. Now, such horses may enter any Handicap in Germany, provided they have won at least one race (in whatever country) in either the current or previous season. For more information, contact Rudiger Schmanns at rschmanns@direktorium.de.
Your explanation of the recent changes in German racing regulations was concise yet very informative. I appreciated the clarity in breaking down complex rules into understandable points. While reading a related analysis on a racing review platform, I noticed how https://www.attn2detail.info/ in interpreting these rules can make a big difference in understanding potential outcomes—it really aligns with the way you presented this topic.
