More Diana Glory For Rottgen As Reliable Man’s Erle Makes All

[Wandering Eyes]

Flying the flag for Germany on Sunday, Gestut Rottgen's G3 Diana-Trial winner Erle (Ger) (Reliable Man {GB}–Kizingo {Ire}, by Oasis Dream {GB}) made the most of her favourable inside draw and her abundant ability to make all in Dusseldorf's G1 Henkel-Preis der Diana. Always happy navigating the tight circuit under Martin Seidl, the Maxim Pecheur-trained 6-1 shot turned it on from the top of the straight and was soon beyond recall. At the line, the homebred had a length to spare over the closing Spanish Eyes (Ger) (Zarak {Fr}), with 3 1/2 lengths back to Lady Mary (Ger) (Lawman {Fr}) in third. This was a seventh renewal of the 11-furlong Classic for the historic and esteemed operation and the fourth since Diu (Ger) captured it in its first year as a group race in 1972.
