| SERENA by SOLDIER HOLLOW has not not exactly been lucky in her recent placings at this level, but today finally the first Listed success fell, whereby the style in which it happend made quite an impression and oozed a sense of more to come. The four-year-old filly was given a perfect trip by Marco Casamento in this 2200 m Listed challenge for fillies and mares. Coming from midfield, the filly took off like a bolt and effortlessly drew clear by nearly four lengths in the long final Iffezheim stretch to send her owners Gestuet Paschberg and trainer Hans-Jürgen Gröschel to the winners circle to collect the prize in the €25,000 Preis der Badener Hotellerie (L.). |
