Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 4, 2022 Journalists Posted October 4, 2022 Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}–Tijuana {Ger}, by Toylsome {GB}), the 2021 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero, has been retired from racing, trainer Marcel Weiss confirmed to Liz Price Racing. As previously announced, the chestnut will stand at Gestut Auenquelle. “We are grateful that he enjoyed such an outstanding career and that he has come back safe and sound,” Weiss told Liz Price. “We always said he would retire if he ran well.” A winner of the G1 Grosser Preis von Berlin as a sophomore in 2020, the P. H. Vandeberg-bred turned €24,000 BBAG October Mixed Sale graduate would enjoy his finest year on the track at four. A colourbearer for Gestut Auenquelle, he added the G2 Hansa Preis before running second to subsequent 2022 Arc heroine Alpinista (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the G1 Grosser Preis von Berlin, prior to his Arc heroics at 71-1. On the board in four of his five starts this term, he did take the G2 Grosser Hansa-Preis, before second-place efforts in the G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth S. and back in Germany in the G1 Grosser Preis von Baden. The half-brother to dual Group 3 winner Tunnes (Ger) (Guiliani {Ire}) signed off his career with a close third in the Arc to Alpinista and Vadeni (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}), and retires with a mark of 16-6-5-2, and earnings of $4,737,917.
