Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 27 Journalists Share Posted January 27 Gestut Rottgen hosted its annual stallion parade on Saturday, with those on show including two new recruits to the German stallion ranks in Assistent (Ger) and Fantastic Moon (Ger), both sons of the German champion sire Sea The Moon (Ger). The well-attended event also featured a lecture from the renowned veterinarian Dr. Monica Venner. Assistent, who won the G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern on his final career start at Munich in November, is one of three stallions on the Gestut Rottgen roster, along with proven sire Iquitos (Ger) and G1 Deutsches Derby winner Windstoss (Ger), who will be represented by his first two-year-old runners in 2025. Assistent will stand his first season at a fee of €4,500. Fantastic Moon, who registered a pair of Group 1 victories in the 2023 Deutsches Derby and last year's Grosser Preis von Baden, also paraded as he prepares to embark on his first season at Gestut Ebbesloh at a fee of €9,000, as well as the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Waldgeist (GB), another newcomer to the German stallion ranks for 2025 after five seasons at Ballylinch Stud in Ireland. He was joined from his new home at Gestut Lunzen by Best Solution (Ire), while Gestut Fahrhof's Alson (Ger) and Gestut Ohlerweiherhof's Rubaiyat (Fr) also featured in the 11-strong line-up.
