Adlerflug and Frankel sire New Group 1 winners over the weekend
New Group 1 winners
Six for Adlerflug
In winning Sunday's Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup (1m2.5f) at the Curragh, English raider Alenquer (4 c ex Wild Blossom by Areion) became the sixth Group 1 winner for Adlerflug (In The Wings). A Group winner already, the William Haggas-trained and Gestut Romerhof-bred colt beat High Definition (Galileo) by a neck, with State Of Rest (Starspangledbanner) the same distance back in third. Formerly based at Gestut Schlenderhan, Adlerflug died at the age of 17 last year.
Delighted to have made my first trip to Ireland a successful one taking out the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup on Alenquer

21 for Frankel
The Moyglare Stud Farm homebred Homeless Songs (3 f ex Joailliere by Dubawi) was the impressive five and a half length winner of Sunday's Group 1 Irish 1000 Guineas (1m). Last seen winning the Group 3 1000 Guineas Trial (7f) on April 2, the Dermot Weld-trained filly beat the Aidan O'Brien-trained Tuesday (Galileo) to give Juddmonte Farm's Frankel (Galileo) his 21st Group 1 winner. Homeless Songs is one of 95 stakes winners for her sire who has six crops of racing age in the Northern Hemisphere and is operating at a rate of 16.2 per cent stakes winners to runners.
Wow.

Six for Caravaggio
Former Coolmore Australia shuttler Caravaggio (Scat Daddy) sired his sixth stakes winner when the William Haggas-trained Maljoom (3 c ex Nictate by Teofilo) took out Sunday's Group 2 German 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Cologne. The colt pulled clear over the final 100 metres and beat Rocchigiani (Time Test) by a length and a quarter to remain unbeaten. Caravaggio shuttled to Coolmore Australia for just one season in 2018 when he covered a book of 143 mares.
The Gr.2 German 2000 Guineas goes to man in form William Haggas.
