Providing an instant return on the investment of Resolute Bloodstock, Woodshauna (Wooded) was the one to edge a pulsating four-way go in Sunday's G1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville. Sold by Al Shaqab following his defeat of the subsequent G1 Commonwealth Cup winner Time For Sandals in the six-furlong G3 Prix Texanita at Chantilly in May, the Francis-Henri Graffard trainee had the pace to come from behind and get between the tight gaps under Christophe Soumillon. Inching ahead inside the last 75 metres, the 12-1 shot had a short neck to spare over Maranoa Charlie (Wootton Bassett), with a short head separating that game front-runner and the revived The Lion In Winter (Sea The Stars) and another neck margin back to Shadow Of Light (Lope De Vega) in a finish that promised to go several different ways in the last furlong.

With the late scratching of France's leading contender Juwelier (Wootton Bassett), the path was left clear for domestic hope Hochkonig (Polish Vulcano) and British raider Convergent (Fascinating Rock) to battle out a thrilling finish to Sunday's G1 IDEE 156h Deutsches Derby at Hamburg. With a delayed photo verdict heightening the drama, the crowd were in raptures once Hochkonig was confirmed the short-head winner, with Nina Baltromei becoming the contest's first female rider to celebrate glory. Baltromei employed patient tactics from the outset and settled Hochkonig off the pace in rear for most of the 12-furlong Classic. Making smooth headway into contention in the straight as the pacesetting Delgardo (Best Solution) wilted up front, the 183-10 chance was stoked up with 300 metres remaining and stayed on relentlessly to shade the Karl Burke-trained G3 Chester Vase third on the line after a ding-dong tussle. Stall Lucky Owner's G2 Gran Criterum winner Lazio (Make Believe) fared best of the rest and ran on strongly to finish two lengths adrift in third. It was a second Classic of the year for Yasmin Almenrader, who also saddled runaway G2 German 2000 Guineas heroine Matilda (Soldier Hollow), and the trainer was emotional in the aftermath of a first success the Germany's premium event. “I am absolutely speechless,” she said. “I am somewhat overawed, by Hochkonig and by Nina, who rode such an intelligent race. Hochkonig is a real racehorse and he takes everyting in his stride, but it does take a lot to win such a race. Many thanks also to the breeders Marc and Gabi [Ruehl].” Owner Stall Cloverleaf has just two horses in training and, continuing the underdog theme, Hochkonig was bred by photographer Marc Ruehl along with his wife Gabi. They keep their horses at home, based near Bergheim, not far from the illustrious Gestut Schlenderhan. Hochkonig's sire Polish Vulcano is a son of Lomitas, who is also the sire of top South African sire influence Silvano. Former amateur Nina Baltromei becomes the second apprentice to win the contest, emulating Otto Schmidt aboard Amorino in 1916, and this was her 50th career victory. The race was out of bounds for female jockeys until 1979. “I have not yet comprehended that I actually won,” beamed Baltromei after receiving a boisterous reception from the packed enclosures. “This is absolutely awesome and especially so having received so much support from everyone.” The post Historic First as Nina Baltromei Claims Deutsches Derby Glory Aboard Hochkonig appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Arron Lynch and Right Now (NZ) (Wrote) have caused a boilover in the Kevin Lafferty Hurdle at Warrnambool on Sunday, holding tough at long odds. Trained by Bevan Laming, Right Now couldn’t go the 3900 metres in the Australian Hurdle last start, but the drop back to 3200m looked suitable and he travelled comfortably throughout. Lynch pinched runs up the inside and went from second last to first down the side, but there was still the matter of holding off Loft ($1.35) and Normandy Bridge ($5). But even with the 71kg on his back, Right Now refused to lie down, and scored a memorable upset win over Loft, Normandy Bridge and Gambu ($27). Earlier in the day, Jessica Pateman scored her first win as a trainer when husband Steven scored a hard-fought win over Bitcoin (NZ) (Tarzino) in the One-Jumps-Win Hurdle. Back in grade from the Australian Hurdle, the son of Tarzino travelled in a great spot and got the better of $2.35 favourite Through Irish Eyes, who refused to lie down, but couldn’t match Pateman’s galloper late. “He’s been super consistent all prep this horse, and he’s been up for a long time,” she said. “That’s the first winner in my name, so that’s really exciting. Thanks to Spicer Thoroughbreds for sending him our way, he’s a beautiful horse. “Also thanks to Lindsey Smith, who sort of pushed him our way… he was really tough late to fight back, I was really impressed to see him do that. He really wants to be there. “He’s an exciting horse for us.” View the full article -
