Diana Glory For Sea The Moon’s Muskoka

Sunday's G1 165th Henkel-Preis der Diana (German Oaks) at Dusseldorf went the way of Stall Golden Goal's G3 Hamburg Stuten-Meile scorer Muskoka (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}–Morning Mist {Ger}, by Peintre Celebre) as she mastered Kassada (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) in the 11-furlong Classic staged in heavy rain. Stepping up in trip having won at a mile, the Henk Grewe trainee was reserved early in mid division by Lukas Delozier with stamina unproven. Reeling in Kassada in the last 100 metres, the 5-1 shot asserted to score by a neck from that long-time leader, with the French raider Sea The Lady (Fr) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) completing a fabulous trifecta for the Lanwades Stud-based sire and finishing 2 1/4 lengths away in third.

Sea The Moon becomes the first sire since Monsun (Ger) to sire the winner of both G1 Deutsches Derby and G1 Preis der Diana in the same season. Germany's lynchpin did so with Shirocco (Ger) and Amarette (Ger) in 2004. Fellow Henk Grewe trainee Fantastic Moon (Ger) initiated the double with a runaway triumph at Hamburg last month. Sea The Moon is also the first sire to notch a Preis der Diana trifecta since the Gestut Graditz-based Ard Patrick (Ire) (St. Florian {GB}) did so in 1910. Ard Patrick's feat was accomplished by Letizia (Ger), Lockung (Ger) and Regina Castra (Ger).

 

“She's an unbelievably good filly with an incredible heart and fights her way past every horse in front of her,” Grewe told GaloppOnline. “She is very uncomplicated, she's easy to handle and has a huge heart. There are plenty of options open to her and the owners already have goals in mind. There's a nice race for her on Arc weekend and the Breeders' Cup is also under consideration.”

Clement Lecoeuvre, rider of third home Sea The Lady, added, “Sea The Lady ran a great race, but the distance on this [soft] surface was just a bit too far for her in the end. She still ran really well and deserved her third-place finish.”

Pedigree Notes
Muskoka, who becomes the fourth Group 1 winner for her sire, is the fifth of seven live foals and one of three scorers from as many runners produced by an unraced half-sister to G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains and G1 Prix du Jockey Club-winning sire Brametot (Ire) (Rajsaman {Fr}) and G3 Walter Nilsens Minnelop runner-up Mulan (Ger) (Marju {Ire}). She is kin to the unraced 2-year-old colt Master Of Light (Ger) (Adlerflug (Ger) and a yearling filly by Reliable Man (GB). The April-foaled chestnut's second dam Morning Light (Ger) (Law Society) is a half-sister to the aforementioned MG1SW German cornerstone Monsun (Ger) (Konigsstuhl {Ger}) and hails from a family which also features GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine Aunt Pearl (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) and G1 Prix du Cadran victrix Molly Malone (Fr) (Lomitas {GB}).

Mr Hollywood Stars In Munich’s Bavarian Classic

Wanja Soren Oberhof and Sebastian Weiss's Mr Hollywood (Ire) (Iquitos {Ger}–Margie's Music {Fr}, by Hurricane Run {Ire}) provided evidence of above-average ability when streaking to a 16-length triumph, and 'TDN Rising Stardom', in his Apr. 2 debut at Mulheim last time and photobombed the G1 Deutsches Derby picture with a decisive success in Monday's G3 Wettstar.de – Bavarian Classic at Munich.

Positioned off the clear leader in fifth until turning for home in this 10-furlong contest, the 2-1 joint-favourite powered forward in the straight to lead approaching the final furlong and, despite rolling around in front, kept on strongly in the closing stages to account for G3 Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen victor and market rival Alpenjager (Ger) (Nutan {Ire}) by three lengths in taking fashion. Last year's G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten hero Fantastic Moon (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), hitherto undefeated, finished 4 1/2 lengths adrift in third.

“It is usually a very difficult race to win, but not with him as he is such a fast horse on this ground,” winning rider Lukas Delozier told GallopOnline. “He was very green today, in every way, but he coped well with the softened ground. This is a good track, he is sure to improve for his next start and I think he is good enough for the [Deutsches] Derby.” Trainer Henk Grewe added, “He had worked very well at home [in Cologne] and we were expecting him to run well under the given circumstances, but working and racing can differ a great deal. He is sure to have learned a lot and will improve.” Connections indicated Germany's premier Derby trial, the [June 11] G2 Union-Rennen [at Cologne], is next on the agenda.

Pedigree Notes
Mr Hollywood (Ger) (Iquitos {Ger}), who becomes the first stakes scorer from only four first-crop foals for his sire (by Adlerflug {Ger}), is the second of three foals out of Listed Escada Cup runner-up Margie's Music (Fr) (Hurricane Run {Ire}). The February-foaled bay's stakes-placed second dam Margie's World (Ger) (Spinning World) is a half-sister to G2 Gerling-Preis third Margosto (Ger) (Acatenango {Ger}) and Listed Fruhjahrs-Stutenpreis placegetter Masai Mara (Ger) (Shaadi). His fourth dam Our Little Margie (Majestic Light) finished second in the GI Spinaway S. and her descendants include GIII Miesque S. victrix Paddy's Daisy (King Of Kings {Ire}). Margie's Music has also produced last year's G3 Derby-Trial runner-up Magical Beat (Ger) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) and the hitherto unraced 2-year-old filly Moosbeere (Ger) (Waldgeist {GB}).
