Group 1 Winner In Swoop to Stand Under Coolmore NH Banner

German Derby winner In Swoop (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}–Iota {Ger}, by Tiger Hill {Ire}), who was runner-up in the 2020 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, will stand under the Coolmore National Hunt banner in Ireland, the stud announced on Thursday. A fee will be announced later.

“In Swoop is the 19th German Derby winner owned and bred by the Von Ullmann family who also bred and raced both his German Derby-winning sire and German Oaks-winning dam,” said Coolmore's Joe Hernon who negotiated the purchase. “He's a striking horse from one of Europe's leading farms and was rated the best 3-year-old of his generation over a mile and a half. The Von Ullmann family also provided us with Getaway (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) who has proven a resounding success with Irish breeders and we are very grateful to them.”

Bred by the Von Ullmann Family and raced in their Gestut Schlenderhan colours, the bay was third in the G2 Prix Greffulhe in only his second start and won the 2020 G1 Deutsches Derby on his third appearance last July. In Swoop was second again in September, this time in the rescheduled G1 Grand Prix de Paris before just missing in the Arc last October.

The Francis-Henri Graffard trainee made his 4-year-old bow in April, with a second in a ParisLongchamp listed affair, before adding the G3 Prix d'Hedouville and G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly in quick succession in May and June. His final race was a fourth in the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. In Swoop was retired with a tendon injury earlier this month and had been preparing for another Arc tilt.

The eighth foal of German Oaks heroine Iota, In Swoop is a full-brother to G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern victor Ito (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) and a half to both the New Zealand Group 3 winner Igraine (Ger) (Galileo {Ire}) and the stakes-placed Iniciar (Ger) (Galileo {Ire}).

In Swoop Back In Charge At ParisLongchamp

Building on a return second in the 12-furlong Listed Prix Lord Seymour at ParisLongchamp Apr. 18, last year's G1 Deutsches Derby hero and Arc runner-up In Swoop (Ire) (Adlerflug {Ger}) returned to the same course and distance to get back to winning ways in the G3 Prix d'Hedouville on Thursday. Settled in a share of third early by Olivier Peslier, the 1-2 favourite was wound up to take control with 300 metres remaining and score by a comfortable 1 1/4-length margin from The Good Man (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}). “He is so lazy he can cause you a lot of stress and you have to be after him, but we're delighted he won again,” trainer Francis-Henri Graffard commented. “We knew he'd come on a lot for his first run and is probably a little bit better on softer ground, so he did what he had to do today. He is in the [G2] Grand Prix de Chantilly and also in the [G1] Coronation Cup, so we'll discuss it with his owners.”

In Swoop's dam Iota (Ger) (Tiger Hill {Ire}), who collected the G1 Preis der Diana, is also the dam of his G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern-winning full-brother Ito (Ger) and the New Zealand group 3 scorer Igraine (Ger) by Adlerlfug's close relative Galileo (Ire). She is kin to the group 3 winner Illo (Ger) (Tertullian) and the G1 Preis von Europa-placed Ioannina (GB) (Rainbow Quest) and to the dam of the G2 Grosser Preis der Badischen Wirtschaft winner Itobo (Ger) (Areion {Ger}). Also connected to the G2 Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen winner Irian (Ger) (Tertullian) and the G3 Geelong Cup scorer and G1 Preis von Europa runner-up Ibicenco (Ger) (Shirocco {Ger}), her as-yet unraced 3-year-old filly by Australia (GB) is named Iffy (Ger) while she also has a filly foal by Highland Reel (Ire).

Champion Sire Adlerflug Dead in Germany

Leading German sire Adlerflug (Ger) (In the Wings {GB}-Aiyana {Ger}, by Last Tycoon {Ire}) died shortly after covering a mare at Gestut Schlenderhan, Galopponline.de reported on Monday. Owned by studs Harzburg, Schlenderhan, Brummerhof, Gorlsdorf, Bona and Gregor Vischer, the 17-year-old, Germany's 2020 Champion Sire, stood for €16,000 in 2021.

A champion in Germany at three from 11-14 furlongs, Adlerflug saluted in the 2007 G1 Deutsches Derby, as well as the G1 Deutschland-Preis. Placed in an additional three Group 1 races in his native land and France for trainer Jens Hirschberger, he was retired to stud with a record of 11-4-2-2 and $908,322 in earnings.

From small crops, Adlerflug is the sire of 16 black-type winners, 12 of them at group level. His five Group 1 winners are Iquitos (Ger), Ito (Ger), Lacazar (Ger), In Swoop (Ire) and Torquator Tasso (Ger). The latter pair were first and second in the 2020 G1 German Derby, with In Swoop also running second in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and G1 Grand Prix de Paris. Lacazar scored in the G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) in 2017. Another colt, French Group 2 winner Savoir Vivre (Ire), was runner-up in the Deutsches Derby in 2016. It is fairly early days yet for Adlerflug as a broodmare sire, but he does have one black-type winner in that sphere, German listed winner Apadanah (Ger) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}).

Adlerflug's second dam, the dual group-placed Alya (Ger) (Lombard {Ger}), is a full-sister to the dam of the Arc winner and breed-shaping matriarch Urban Sea (Miswaki).
