| Confirming her impressive maiden win at Hanover two weeks ago, Stall Mandarin's VIVE EN LIBERTE finished a respectable third in the €27,500 G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen at Cologne today and earned Black Type along the way. Adrie de Vries took the filly from a run in stalking position to the lead through a gutsy finish where she secured a third place by nose advantage. Like Flamingo Girl, who was impressive at Düsseldorf yesterday, the Auenquelle-bred VIVE EN LIBERTE owns a nomination for this year's German Oaks. |
