Sioux Nation’s Brave Emperor Best In Krefeld Test

Giving up a berth in the Kentucky Derby, connections of Brave Emperor (Ire) (Sioux Nation–Roman Gal {Ire}, by Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) took to the contrasting scene of Krefeld on Friday to garner the G3 Dr Busch-Memorial with their upwardly-mobile campaigner. Winning had become a habit for Middleham Park's flag-bearer last term and Cagnes-Sur-Mer's Listed Prix de la Californie was added to his resume after he took to the Polytrack there like a duck to water in February. Again on top in Kempton's “Road To The Kentucky Derby” Conditions S. the following month, the bay had been caught late by Bold Act (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) in the Woodford Reserve Cardinal Conditions S. which continued that series at Chelmsford at the start of this month. Bounced out to lead by Luke Morris, the 7-5 favourite gave generously in typical fashion to assert his superiority from the top of the straight and score by 2 1/2 lengths from the G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten third Arcandi (Ger) (Zarak {Fr}).

Pedigree Notes

Brave Emperor is the first foal out of Roman Gal, a half-sister to the Listed Buckhounds S. winner and G1 Coronation Cup runner-up Salouen (Ire) (Canford Cliffs {Ire}). From the family of the G1 Lockinge S. hero Keltos (Fr) (Kendor {Fr}) and fellow sire Loxias (Fr) (Saumarez {GB}), her 2-year-old filly by Inns Of Court (Ire) is named Puella Law (Ire).

One-Time KY Derby Hopeful Brave Emperor To Race In Germany Next

Brave Emperor (Ire) (Sioux Nation) will travel to Germany for the G3 Dr Busch Memorial at Krefeld on Apr. 28, according to Middleham Park Racing's Tom Palin.

The listed winner, who was previously under consideration for the GI Kentucky Derby on May 6, ran second in the Woodford Reserve Cardinal Conditions S. when last seen on Apr. 1.

“He is on his travels, he's going to go to Germany for a Group 3 on Apr. 28 [Krefeld, Dr Busch Memorial], that's where he'll run next,” said Palin. “He's got no penalties. He has won a listed race but he's picked up novices, handicaps and conditions races so for a serial winner like him he doesn't have penalties so we can pick and choose. He should be rocking up at all the big meetings, Royal Ascot, Goodwood, so we'll hopefully have a good summer with him.

“Trip-wise, 10 furlongs might be a question mark, but certainly nine furlongs we are of the opinion is no problem, it is almost nine furlongs in Germany and we're confident about that.

“I can't see why he wouldn't see 10 out in the future. We could maybe think about something like the [G3] Hampton Court [S.] at Ascot [in June].”
