Skalleti On The Prowl Sunday

News — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 20:24:09 +0000

Munich's G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis – Bayerisches Zuchtrennen is the sole pattern-race action in Europe on Sunday and it should be a procession for France's star Skalleti (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) provided all goes to plan. Successful in the Mar. 21 G3 Prix Exbury at Saint-Cloud and ParisLongchamp's Prix d'Harcourt Apr. 11 and G1 Prix d'Ispahan May 30, Jean-Claude Seroul's 6-year-old continues his march towards the G1 Champion S. in which he was runner-up in October. Of the home contingent, Dr Christoph Berglar's May 2 G3 Premio Ambrosiano winner Grocer Jack (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}) sets the standard but he has ground to make up on Skalleti based on his second to the Prix d'Ispahan fourth Wally (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) in the G2 Gran Premio di Milano at the San Siro last time June 27. Of the two 3-year-olds, Stall TMB's Mythico (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}) boasts Classic-winning form having conquered the G2 Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen or German 2000 Guineas at Cologne May 24.

Adlerflug’s Mythico Holds On For German 2000 Guineas Glory

News — Mon, 24 May 2021 12:17:45 +0000

Stall TMB's Mythico (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}) opened this season with a last-of-eight finish in ParisLongchamp's Apr. 11 G3 Prix Noailles before running second to Best of Lips (Ire) (The Gurkha {GB}) in Krefeld's Apr. 24 G3 Dr Busch-Memorial last time and took advantage as that rival floundered in Monday's G2 36th Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen (German 2000 Guineas) at Cologne to secure Classic glory in game fashion. The March-foaled bay had also finished behind Best of Lips when third in the Rhineland venue's Oct. 11 G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten and closed a four-race juvenile campaign with a first career success in Krefeld's Nov. 15 G3 Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen. Settling into a smooth rhythm under a firm hold in second after breaking on the lead, the 17-5 second favourite powered back to the front passing the quarter-mile marker and had established enough of an advantage in the closing stages to just hold the late rattle of Best Lightning (Fr) (Sidestep {Aus}) by a short head for a career high.

“He was in full swing entering the straight so I didn't dare try and hold him back,” said winning rider Rene Piechulek, fresh from victory in Sunday's G2 Diana Trial and substituting for the injured Maxim Pecheur here. “He responded well to everything I asked in the straight and just kept going. He began to falter in the closing stages and started looking about and shortening his stride. Luckily, we got across the line in just time.”

Mythico becomes the third Classic winner for his sire (by In the Wings {GB}) and is the third foal for Madhyana (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}). That dual winner's first produce is Mythico's full-sister Mythica (Ger), who finished second in both Listed BMW Preis Dusseldorf and Listed Kolner Stutenpreis, and she has an unraced 2-year-old filly by Zelzal (Fr), named Mythicara (Ire), and a yearling colt by Holy Roman Emperor (Ire) to come. Mythico's second dam, Listed Prix Solitude victress Madhya (Gone West), is kin to MGSP Listed Criterium du Bequet victor Wilki (Fr) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and a daughter of G3 Prix Chloe and GIII Noble Damsel H. winner Khumba Mela (Ire) (Hero's Honor), herself the leading performer produced by a daughter of G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois and G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp heroine Luth Enchantee (Fr) (Be My Guest).
