Tai Chi Filly In Dusseldorf Romp

Attica | Galopponline.de

Off the mark over 100 metres further here last time Mar. 26, Attica took a leap forward to suggest she will be the one to beat of the home brigade in the G2 German 1000 Guineas back at this venue June 18. Restrained early by Adrie de Vries tending to over-race in rear, the bay was launched wide at the top of the straight and swamped the leaders approaching the furlong pole en route to a commanding success. Attica, who is from the first crop of the talented G3 Preis der Favoriten winner Tai Chi, is a half to Anna Katharina who annexed the G3 Hamburger Stuten-Preis and was runner-up in the Listed Iffezheimer Derby-Trial. Her second dam Anna Thea also won the Hamburger Stutenpreis before producing Aspectus (Ire) (Spectrum {Ire}), a multiple group-winning highweight at a mile who also captured the G2 Oppenheim-Union-Rennen over 11 furlongs, as well as the dam of the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud runner-up Willie the Whipper (GB) (Whipper). The extended family includes the champion 2-year-old and sire Aspros (Ger) and Anna Paola (Ger) (Prince Ippi {Ger}), the champion 2-year-old and 3-year-old filly and heroine of the G2 Preis der Diana.
