German Derby/Oaks Entries Close Wednesday

Nominations for next season's G1 154th IDEE Deutsches Derby and G1 Henkel-Preis der Diana (German Oaks) close Wednesday. The former contest, scheduled for July 2 at Hamburg, has already attracted a swathe of notable entries including Paul Vandeberg's hitherto unraced filly Tiara Hilleshage (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), who is a homebred full-sister to last term's G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero Torquator Tasso (Ger). “She is an elegant filly who, like her brother, needs time and the focus is on her 3-year-old season,” said trainer Marcel Weiss earlier this year. Another eyecatching nominee is Gestut Rottgen's 'TDN Rising Star' Aspirant (Ger) (Protectionist {Ger}), who remains engaged in Krefeld's Nov. 13 G3 Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen. Tiara Hilleshage is on the Derby list alongside fellow distaffers Quantanamera (Ger) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), the impressive 8 1/2-length winner of last month's G3 Preis der Winterkonigin, and Sunday's 'TDN Rising Star' Naila (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}) with the trio also holding entries for the Aug. 6 Preis der Diana at Dusseldorf.

Adlerflug Filly Earns Rising Star Tag At Cologne

Sporting the famed Gestut Rottgen silks in Cologne's Preis vom Weidenpescher Park on Sunday, Naila (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}) overpowered her peers to become the latest German TDN Rising Star. Sent off the 9-10 favourite for the 1850-metre maiden, the Markus Klug-trained chestnut broke well from the widest stall to track the leading duo throughout the early stages. Taking control approaching the two-furlong marker, she surged clear to win unchallenged by 10 lengths with Andrasch Starke easing down.

The winner is the last known foal out of the listed-winning dam Naomia (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), who has produced the G3 Zukunftsrennen scorer Narella (Ire) (Reliable Man {GB}). She is a daughter of the G1 Oaks d'Italia heroine Nagoya (Ger) (Goofalik), who is also the second dam of Nepal (Ger) (Kallisto {Ger}) who also captured that Milan Classic when it was staged as a group 2 in 2016.

2nd-Cologne, €7,000, Mdn, 10-30, 2yo, 1850mT, 2:00.24, g/s.
NAILA (FR) (f, 2, Adlerflug {Ger}–Naomia {Ger} {SW-Ger}, by Monsun {Ger}) Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €4,200.
