Guiliani’s Tunnes Bounds To Classic Glory At Dortmund

Holger Renz's accidental purchase Tunnes (Ger) (Guiliani {Ire}–Tijuana {Ger), by Toylsome {GB}), a half-brother to G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) who was acquired as the result of an online oversight, brought the curtain down on his juvenile campaign with a win in Krefeld's Nov. 14 G3 Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen. Having passed on his G1 Deutsches Derby engagement this term, he made a successful comeback in a Baden-Baden conditions heat at the end of last month and continued his winning streak with a wide-margin domination of Sunday's G3 Racebets 138th Deutsches St Leger at Dortmund, providing his owner with a second straight renewal of the 14-furlong Classic. The 13-10 favourite fought for his head through the initial stages and was allowed to stride on in front after passing the judge first time. Maintaining control in testing conditions thereafter and lobbing along for the most part, he had all rivals under pressure off the home turn and romped further clear under urging once shaken up approaching the quarter-mile marker to rout 37-1 outsider Sir Filip (Ger) (Ito {Ger}) by eight lengths, himself 3 1/2 lengths ahead of the winner's stablemate Nerium (Ire) (Camelot {GB}).

“I didn't really want to make all over such a long trip, but I did not want to take the risk of him pulling hard either, so it worked out well,” said winning jockey Bauyrzhan Murzabayev after claiming his first Deutsches St Leger. Trainer Peter Schiergen added, “The way he won was really quite impressive and he is a true and excellent stayer. We will now run in the Group 1 event at Munich [Nov. 6 G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern] and maybe once before that at ParisLongchamp on the [Oct. 16 G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris] weekend following the Arc meeting.”

Tunnes, one of two pattern-race winners for his sire, is the fourth of seven foals and one of two winners out of a half-sister to four stakes performers headed by G2 Diana-Trial victrix Tusked Wings (Ire) (Adlerflug {Ger}), G2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil third Titurel (Ger) (Dr Fong) and last year's G3 St Leger Italiano runner-up Tangut (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}). The April-foaled chestnut, full to a weanling filly, is a half to the aforementioned Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), the hitherto unraced 2-year-old filly Tiara Hilleshage (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) and a yearling colt by Adlerflug (Ger). His third dam, Listed Prix Occitanie runner-up Turbaine (Trempolino), produced Guiliani's sire Tertullian (Miswaki) which gives Tunnes a 3×3 inbreeding to Turbaine, herself a half-sister to G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe-winning blue hen Urban Sea (Miswaki).

Torquator Tasso’s Half-Brother Back With A Bang

Off the track since winning the G3 Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen at Krefeld in November, Holger Renz's Tunnes (Ger) (Guiliani {Ire}) who is a half-brother to the internationally-renowned G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe , G1 Grosser Preis von Baden and G1 Grosser Preis von Berlin hero Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) stormed back onto the scene at Baden-Baden on Wednesday. Confidently-backed into 9-10 favouritism for the Preis der BBAG-Jährlingsauktion, the Peter Schiergen-trained chestnut was full of running in the hands of Bauyrzhan Murzabayev throughout the early stages in a share of third. Moved forward to the stand's rail to take control inside the final two furlongs, he stayed on powerfully from there to score by six lengths from Lobelie (GB) (Adlerflug {Ger}).

Half-Brother To Torquator Tasso Graduates At Cologne

Holger Renz's €38,000 BBAG September graduate Tunnes (Ger) (Guiliani {Ire}), a half-brother to last week's G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), bettered a debut second at Cologne last month with a three-length score in Sunday's Alson-Rennen back at the Weidenpescher venue.

1st-Cologne, €5,100, Mdn, 10-10, 2yo, 9 1/4fT, 1:57.83, g/s.
TUNNES (GER) (c, 2, Guiliani {Ire}–Tijuana {Ger}, by Toylsome {GB}), who ran second going one mile in his Sept. 26 debut at this venue last time, was swiftly into stride and led from flagfall. Untroubled on the front end for the most part, the 4-5 favourite kicked clear in early straight and ran on strongly under whipless coaxing inside the final quarter mile to easily defeat Antinanco (Ire) (Champs Elysees {GB}) by three lengths. Tunnes, the fourth of five foals, becomes the second scorer produced by a half-sister to three stakes performers headed by the G2 Diana-Trial victrix Tusked Wings (Ire) (Adlerflug {Ger}). The April-foaled chestnut is a half-brother to MG1SW G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero and G1 Deutsches Derby runner-up Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), who also shed maiden status at this venue, and a yearling filly by Adlerflug (Ger). His third dam, Listed Prix Occitanie runner-up Turbaine (Trempolino), is also the dam of Guiliani's sire Tertullian (Miswaki) which gives Tunnes a 3×3 inbreeding to Turbaine. Turbaine is a half-sister to G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe-winning blue hen Urban Sea (Miswaki). Sales history: €38,000 Ylg '20 BBAGS. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, €3,570.
O-Holger Renz; B-Paul H Vandeberg (GER); T-Peter Schiergen.
