Frankel’s Alpinista In Command In Berlin

[Wandering Eyes]

Coping with easy ground well enough to record a workmanlike success in the G2 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock last time July 3, Alpinista (GB) (Frankel {GB}) relished the slicker surface available at a sun-baked Hoppegarten to continue her owner-breeder Kirsten Rausing's annus mirabilis by garnering Sunday's G1 Longines 131st Grosser Preis von Berlin. Settled fourth early by Luke Morris as Godolphin's G2 Dubai City of Gold scorer Walton Street (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) cut out the running, the 38-10 shot was launched in early straight to swamp her neighbour passing the 300-metre marker and pull clear to score by 2 3/4 lengths from last year's winner Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), with Walton Street ending up third a length away.
