Meeting started with the Grand Prix contested by just eight horses this time. In absence of the Trial and Summer Stakes taker Karagem the favoritism went to Serebryany Bor who was a runner-up in the Summer Stakes and then won the prep race over 1400 meters beating Ready Renaissance and Dalmar. Serebryany Bor can boast an exceptional pedigree: by Broad Brush and out of Stormin Winnie, herself by Storm Cat and out of Winning Colors which makes him a sire prospect. After the break Rostov's unbeaten performer Efedin took the lead and set a very strong pace followed by Serebryany Bor. Efedin led well and wore the others down. The only one who managed to cope with the pace and then accelerate was Ready Renaissance; he snatched the lead with 500 meters to go and careered away to finish with a huge eight lengths advantage. Up to date Ready Renaissance had been lightly raced: scored in a maiden and finished second in the prep; this was his first Stakes outing. But in the truly run mile race he manifested courage and real turn of foot. 

The 2007 Derby was a very open race with no real favorite and only one real outsider Supermalix. Traditionally the Classic is dominated by the Anilin Stakes form (similar to the Dante Stakes) which this year was taken by Sunshine Lemon followed by Royal Wool and Royal Quiet. It is worth saying that in the Anilin Stakes Sunshine Lemon hit the front with 800 meters to go and blazed away, but faded slightly at the end and let his opponents approach. After the break it was a full brother to Soldier Hollow named Peregrine Falcon who showed the way, but the pace was slow. Soon Galiego headed the company and increased speed dramatically turning the backstretch with 1500 meters left. In the backstretch the Anilin Stakes trio Sunshine Lemon, Royal Wool and Royal Quiet approached the leader. In the final turn the speed reached its maximum as the trio surged away and all the others failed to menace. In the homestretch Royal Wool attacked Sunshine Lemon, both dug deep and none was giving in. This spectacular duel ended just meters before the line as Royal Wool overpowered Sunshine Lemon and won the Derby by a half length. It seems that it was the Derby's extra 400 meters which let Royal Wool reverse the Anilin Stakes form. Anyway, it was a superb Derby won again by the Volgogradsky Stud after Djasil in 2006.

Russian Minister of Agriculture Stakes was all about one question: will Satellit win it for the fourth time in a row. Russia's most famous racehorse of the present was on fire again this term when winning the Jockey Club Stakes last month. The danger was coming from the prolific performer Mumi Trol, last time runner-up to Ters in the President Stakes. Another one representing Rostov's form was Retrospector, a tight winner of the Southern Federal District Race. But right after the break Retrospector stumbled badly and unseated his rider. Mumi Trol was setting a steady pace pulling hard and reflecting that he would prefer a mile and a half. In the backstretch Satellit moved to second and then bridged the gap to the leader in the final turn. In the homestretch Satellit met no difficulties passing Mumi Trol, went clear by a length and a half and scored his fantastic fourth straight win in this race. No doubt that Satellit is the only real stayer among these horses which seems to be the key to such an outcome as well as to the previous three editions. It is worth mentioning that in the last three years Satellit won all the big long distance races in the country. Despite being seven he is as tough and courageous as anything and seems able to go on.

Finally, the Criterium Stakes featured a re-match between first three of the Grand Sprinters Stakes last month: Desert Guest, Ready Set Swing and Lading. Desert Guest missed the break again, but this time by just two lengths. Lading and Ready Set Swing took the lead joined by Desert Guest shortly after and offered a smashing pace to the others with no positive response. All the three entered the homestretch together, but then it was all about Ready Set Swing who boosted away by 3½ lengths and scored a beautiful victory while Desert Guest just snatched second from Lading.
