Nutan’s Alpenjager Powers To Impressive Success In Krefeld Feature

[Wandering Eyes]

Stall Nizza's homebred 2-year-old Alpenjager (Ger) (Nutan {Ire}–Amora {Ire}, by High Chaparral {Ire}) encountered the 'TDN Rising Star' display of Aspirant (Ger) (Protectionist {Ger}) going one mile in his Sept. 11 debut at Dusseldorf and shed maiden status in impressive fashion when returning to action over the same course and distance last month. He was hammered into 11-5 favouritism, off the back that 3 1/2-length tally, for Sunday's G3 Krefelder Fur Krefeld Grosser Preis der Brauerei Konigshof – Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen at Krefeld and justified support at the tills with another daylight score in Germany's final pattern race of the season. Positioned in a stalking second after the early strides of a contest won last year by G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern-winning stablemate Tunnes (Ger) (Guiliani {Ger}), the eventual winner was nudged along off the home turn and powered clear in style once seizing control passing the quarter-mile marker to easily outclass Lips Freedom (Ger) (Free Eagle {Ire}) by seven lengths. Lips Freedom held on to second by a neck from the winner's stablemate Winning Spirit (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), himself six lengths clear of the remainder.

Alpenjager, who becomes the first black-type scorer for his sire (by Duke Of Marmalade {Ire}), is the second of four foals–all by Nutan (Ire)–and lone scorer produced by a multiple-winning daughter of G3 Hamburger Stutenmeile victrix Aslana (Ire) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}), herself a half-sister to three black-type performers headed by multiple Group-winning G1 Premio Vittorio di Capua second and sire Amarillo (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}). Descendants of his stakes-placed third dam Alte Kunst (Ire) (Royal Academy), herself a daughter of dual Classic-winning G1 Deutsches Derby runner-up Alte Zeit (Ger) (Surumu {Ger}), include G2 Diana-Trial third Artemisia (Ire) (Peintre Celebre) and G2 Grosser Preis der Badischen Wirtschaft victor G1 Deutsches Derby runner-up Alter Adler (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}). Alpenjager is full to a yearling filly and a weanling filly.
