The derby crop met for a 2200 m test at Listed level in the €25,000 Aengevelt Derby-Trial at Duesseldorf Grafenberg today where our derby hopeful NIRVANA DSCHINGIS by our champion sire SOLDIER HOLLOW made a strong impression with Adrie de Vries aboard. Coming from a race off the pace, the colt out of our Monsun-mare NAGAYA impressed with a powerful late attack and secured a very good second place. While he temporarily prolonged his subscription for second places with this Black Type performance, the first full point should not be too far ahead from here. |
