Golden Horn’s Lady Charlotte Remains Unbeaten After Snagging Hoppegarten Feature

[Wandering Eyes]

The hitherto unbeaten Andreas Wohler trainee Lady Charlotte (Golden Horn) leapt to head of the ante-post betting market for August's G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) after producing a determined effort to prevail in Sunday's G3 Diana-Trial over 10 furlongs at Hoppegarten.

She had previously registered two wins in Poland for former trainer Maciej Janikowski last term and annexed Hannover's Listed Preis der Neuen Bult in her German debut last month.

The 11-5 second favourite settled off the pace with one behind in sixth after a slick getaway and eased into fifth after a half-mile had elapsed. Bustled along to reduce arrears at the top of the home straight, she went second entering the final furlong and quickened smartly under a late drive to deny last month's G2 Karin Baronin von Ullmann Schwarzgold-Rennen victrix Nicoreni (Brametot) by a neck in the dying strides. Fantastic Moon's half-sister Fire And Ice (Masar) fared best of the remainder and finished two lengths adrift in third.

“She most definitely relished the [soft] going and the step up in trip,” said winning jockey Adrie de Vries. “On good going it might have been more difficult for us, but she really is a great filly and 2000 metres is the minimum trip for her. She only ever does as much as necessary and, as long as she keeps doing that, we can keep dreaming.”

Pedigree Notes
Lady Charlotte, who becomes the 11th pattern-race winner for her sire, is the third of five foals and one of two scorers out of a half-sister to G2 Blandford Stud Stakes victrix Monturani (Indian Ridge), dual stakes-winning G3 Prix de Seine-et-Oise runner-up Monnavanna (Machiavellian) and Listed Noel Murless Stakes victrix Mill Springs (Shirocco). Monturani is the second dam of dual Group 2-winning G3 Premio Parioli (Italian 2000 Guineas) hero Anda Muchacho (Helmet) and G3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes runner-up Parsley (Zebedee). The February-foaled bay's second dam is stakes-winning G1 Oaks third Mezzogiorno (Unfuwain). Lady Charlotte, who hails from the family of G1 2000 Guineas hero Mystiko (Secreto), is a half-sister to the 2-year-old filly Lady Evi (Masar). Her yearling full-sister died last year.
