Esterhazy was so excited that he couldn't go to Hamburg and hoped and feared that the telegram from Hamburg about the outcome of the race might be a salvation. He had wagered a fortune, including the castle, on his racing bet. It could easily have meant his end and the end of horse breeding... Hours later, the long-awaited telegram finally came: Stronzian won easily! This victory was celebrated extensively throughout the village of Nordkirchen. Sevice 1893 in Nordkirchen, Nordrhein-Westfalen/Esterházy's.
