Belcarra a Black-Type First For Estidhkaar At Hannover

[Wandering Eyes]

Ulrich Zerrath’s Belcarra (Ire) (Estidhkaar {Ire}) ran 2 1/2 lengths off Libre (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) when second going seven furlongs in her Oct. 4 debut at Hannover and exacted revenge on that reopposing rival to secure a first black-type success for her freshman sire (by Dark Angel {Ire}) in Sunday’s Listed Sea The Moon-Rennen over the same strip back at the Neue Bult venue. Settled off Libre’s tempo in mid division through halfway, the 67-10 chance meade stealthy headway in the straight and kept on strongly once called into action with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining to edge Nottingham (Ger) (Excelebration {Ire}) by a neck in the dying strides.

Belcarra is also the first black-type scorer for Bellacoola (Ger) (Lomitas {GB}), whose six prior winners include Listed Prix Hampton runner-up Prinzde Glas (Ire) (Verglas {Ire}) and Listed Listowel S. placegetter Winiata (Ire) (Society Rock {Ire}). Bellacoola, who has a yearling colt by Alhebayeb (Ire) to come, is kin to G2 Grosse Europa-Meile and G3 Oettingen-Rennen victor Bernardon (Ger) (Suave Dancer), G3 Preis der Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe winner Budai (Ger) (Dai Jin {GB}) and Listed Fruhjahrszuchtpreis der Dreijaehrigen scorer Basalios (Ger) (Sternkonig {Ire}). Belcarra’s third dam Brigida (Ger) (Priamos {Ger}) landed the G3 German 1000 Guineas and Listed Preis des Casino Baden-Baden victor Bueno (Ger) (Lombard {Ger}) heads her progeny list. Brigida is also the ancestress of the stakes-producing G2 Prix Robert Papin victrix Boccassini (Ger) (Artan {Ire}) and Listed Steventon S. victor What About Carlo (Fr) (Creachadoir {Ire}).
