Mylady A Stakes First For The Grey Gatsby In Germany

Gestut Karlshof's homebred 2-year-old filly Mylady (Ger) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}) posted an Aug. 22 debut score tackling 7 1/2 furlongs at Mulheim in her only prior start and doubled up with a narrow victory over one mile in Sunday's Listed Junioren-Preis at Dusseldorf to become the first stakes winner for her freshman sire (by Mastercraftsman {Ire}). The spayed grey was rousted from the boxes to claim an early rail position and settled in a handy third after the initial strides. Locked in a pocket when trying to steal up the inside with 300 metres remaining, she was shuffled back to sixth passing the eighth pole and went through an array of gears once angled into the clear in the closing stages to nail stablemate Ariolo (Ger) (Reliable Man {GB}) by a head on the line for a career high.

Mylady is the only reported foal out of Minoris (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}), herself an unraced daughter of Monspa (GB) (Monsun {Ger}). Monspa, in turn, is kin to Listed Hampton Court S. victor and G2 Hardwicke S. placegetter Persian Majesty (Ire) (Grand Lodge). Mylady's third dam Spa (GB) (Sadler's Wells) also produced Spasha (GB) (Shamardal), whose trio of stakes winners is headed by G1 Diamond Jubilee S. and G1 Sprint Cup hero Hello Youmzain (Fr) (Kodiac {GB}) and G2 Gran Criterium victor Royal Youmzain (Fr) (Youmzain {Ire}). Mylady's fourth dam is G3 Lancashire Oaks victrix Sandy Island (GB) (Mill Reef), herself kin to runaway G1 Epsom Derby-winning sire Slip Anchor (GB) (Shirley Heights {GB}). Sandy Island's descendants also include G1 Sisterna S. victor Summer Passage (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}), with this being the dam line of legendary racemare and producer Schwarzgold (Ger) (Alchimist {Ger}).

Lord of England’s Palmas Routs German Oaks Rivals

Gestut Etzean's unbeaten 3-year-old filly Palmas (Ger) (Lord of England {Ger}) posted a half-length success in her May 16 debut going one mile at Hannover and doubled her tally when upped to 10 1/2 furlongs for Dusseldorf's June 19 Listed Diana-Trial in her only other start. Sent postward as the 9-2 second favourite back over the same strip for Sunday's 163rd Henkel Preis der Diana – German Oaks, she simply outclassed her rivals to win by daylight for a career high. The homebred bay maintained a rail berth through the early fractions and lobbed along in fourth until improving one spot at halfway. Shaken up to force an opening for her challenge passing the quarter-mile marker, Palmas was soon in command and lengthened clear in impressive fashion to hit the line six lengths ahead of G2 Derby Italiano fourth Isfahani (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}). Last term's G3 Preis der Winterkonigin victrix Noble Heidi (Fr) (Intello {Ger}) was a length adrift in third.

“This is really overwhelming and I really do not know what to say,” said Gestut Etzean owner Marc Sonnenburg. “We are just so thankful for her.” Etzean manager Ralf Kredel added, “That was a really great performance considering it was only her third outing. She is her dam's last and best foal and this was the fourth Group 1 German Oaks victory for Gestut Etzean in the past 11 years.”

Palmas become the third Classic and Group 1 winner for her sire (by Dashing Blade {GB}), who is also the grandsire of this year's G1 Deutsches Derby hero Sisfahan (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}). She is her dam's latest foal and one of four black-type winners for the stakes-placed Peace Time (Ger) (Surumu {Ger}). Siblings include her Listed Prix des Sablonnets-winning full-sister Penny Lane (Ger) and G3 Fahrhofer Stutenpreis victrix Peaceful Love (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}). Palmas is also kin to MGSW distaffer Peace Royale (Ger) (Sholokhov {Ire}) and to the multiple-winning dam of last year's Listed Winterkonigin Trial winner Peaches (Ger) (Lord of England {Ger}). Peaceful Love produced last term's G3 Prix La Force victor Pao Alto (Fr) (Intello {Ger}) and Peace Royale is the dam of GSW G2 German 1000 Guineas second Peace In Motion (Hat Trick {Jpn}) and two-time stakes scorer Peace Society (Iffraaj {GB}). Peace Time, who is the leading performer for the stakes-placed Princess of Spain (GB) (King of Spain {GB}), hails from the family of Scandinavian champion Dalby Jaguar (GB) (Sharp Edge {Ire}).

Diana Poser on Sunday

Sunday's G1 Henkel-Preis der Diana at Dusseldorf offers the usual puzzle, with Dr. Christoph Berglar's Amazing Grace (Ger) (Protectionist {Ger}), who was taken out of the G1 Prix de Diane due to her wide draw, possibly the standard-setter in the German Oaks. Successful in Hoppegarten's G2 Diana Trial May 23, the chestnut beat Noble Heidi (Fr) (Intello {Ger}) by 3/4 of a length on that occasion before finishing runner-up in the 11-furlong G3 Mehl-Mulhens-Trophy at Hamburg July 4.

First and second in this track's Listed Diana-Trial June 19, Palmas (Ger) (Lord of England {Ger}) and Normfliegerin (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) are unexposed members of the cast, while Gestut Auenquelle's July 4 G3 Hamburger Stutenmeile winner Reine d'Amour (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}) and Gestut Rottgen's Listed Mulheim Diana Trial scorer Alaskasonne (Fr) (Soldier Hollow {GB}) are other key protagonists.

Gleneagles Filly Powers to German 1000 Guineas Triumph

Gestut Brummerhof's Novemba (Ger) (Gleneagles {Ire}) may have appeared to set an unsustainable pace when scooting off in front under Sybille Vogt in Sunday's G2 Wempe 101st German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf, but she was not for catching and powered further clear of toiling rivals to secure an impressive 7 1/2-length triumph. Vogt's enterprising tactics also yielded a first Classic success for a female rider. Novemba took two goes to shed maiden status, which she did at Hannover in August, and ran seventh in Baden-Baden's Sept. 12 G3 Zukunftsrennen before closing her juvenile campaign with a second in the Oct. 18 G3 G3 Preis der Winterkonigin back at the Iffezheim venue in her penultimate start. She tuned up for this with a fourth in the May 8 Listed Henkel-Stutenpreis over course and distance on seasonal return last time. The 107-10 chance was sharpest from the stalls and seized an immediate lead. Three lengths to the good rounding the home turn, she had all 10 rivals stretched when stoked up approaching the two pole and extended clear in style to easily account for Godolphin's French raider Sky Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) by daylight, with G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen victrix Belcarra (Ire) (Estidhkaar {Ire}) deprived of second by a neck in the dying strides.

“We were quite sure she would run a good race as she had been working very well at home, but that she would put up such a performance was a pleasant surprise,” admitted trainer Peter Schiergen. “Sybille [Vogt] did everything right by deciding to take the initiative and make her own race. Novemba quite obviously enjoyed herself out there in front and she has shown us that she belongs in this class. We will continue from here, whether in Germany or France, and I will decide with the owners what to do next over the coming days. We are really happy with her.”

Novemba becomes the first Classic and seventh pattern-race winner for her sire (by Galileo {Ire}) as well as being the first black-type scorer for her stakes-winning dam Nevada (Ger) (Dubai Destination). Her stakes-winning second dam Norwegian Pride (Fr) (Diktat {GB}) produced MGSW G2 German 2000 Guineas runner-up Nordico (Ger) (Medicean {GB}) and Listed Iffezheimer Derby-Trial victor and G3 Deutsches St Leger placegetter Nordic Flight (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}). Novemba's fourth dam Turban (GB) (Glint of Gold {GB}) also produced the Listed Fern Hill H. victrix Barboukh (GB) (Night Shift), whose descendants include G3 Prix Exbury victor Barbola (Diesis {GB}) and G3 Stora Pris winner Sir Lando(GB) (Lando {Ger}). Turban is a half-sister to MG1SW sire Old Vic (GB) (Sadler's Wells) with this also being the family of the MG1SW German champion and leading sire Acatenango (Ger) (Surumu {Ger}). Nevada has the unraced 2-year-old colt Niagaro (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) and a yearling colt by Areion (Ger) to come.
