Moon a fantastic graduate from German sale

Fantastic Moon

3yo b c Sea The MoonFrangipani (Jukebox Jury)

Fantastic Moon is undeniably well bred, being by Deutsches Derby sensation Sea The Moon out of a winning halfsister to Group 3 scorer Fearless King from the family of Pattern winners Four Sins, Germane and Kilmah, and yet he was able to be bought from the draft of breeders

Stauffenberg Bloodstock for just €49,000.

He proved to be a fine bargain for buyers Liberty Racing, winning the Preis der Winterfavoriten at two and the Baden-Baden Derby Trial and Deutsches Derby this season at three. He was last seen finishing a more than respectable second to Nations Pride in Group 1 company at Munich, and is entered for the Irish Champion Stakes.

There are eight chances to buy a Sea The Moon in BadenBaden in a fortnight’s time, including a three-parts sister to Preis der Diana heroine

Miss Yoda from Gestüt Etzean (lot 174) and a closely related half-sister to SchwarzgoldRennen winner Meerjungfrau from Gestüt Görlsdorf (173).

Muskoka completed the German Derby and Oaks double for Sea The Moon when scoring in the Preis der Diana at Dusseldorf this month. She spearheaded a clean sweep of the places for the Lanwades Stud-based sire to boot, with Kassada and Sea

The Lady finishing second and third.

The Henk Grewe-trained filly, who also has a Group 3 and Listed score to her name, is out of Morning Mist, a

Tunnes

4yo ch c Guiliani - Tijuana (Toylsome)

Finding big-race winners at BBAG is so easy it can even happen by accident – as Cologne owner Holger Renz found when he thought he’d stopped bidding on a son of Guiliani in 2020 only to have more inadvertent offers accepted by the auctioneer as he made hand gestures on a mobile phone call to a friend.

The colt Renz had knocked down to him at €38,000 was named Tunnes and became a half-brother to an Arc winner in the next year, when Torquator Tasso struck in Paris, and landed the Grosser Preis von Bayern by ten lengths himself in the season after that.

Brown colt Wootton BassettSecretina (Galileo)

Brümmerhof

Wootton Bassett has been in flying form this season, with a high ratio of two-year-old winners including Group 1 and 2 scorers Bucanero Fuerte and River Tiber, and King Of Steel running second in the Derby. That has whetted the appetite for his first crop of yearlings conceived at a sixfigure fee at Coolmore, who include this half-brother to Listed-placed Santorini out of a Galileo half-sister to Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winner Plumania.
