What a day for German thoroughbred breeding. Our friends from Gestuet Auenquelle, who have given a fantastic home to our three-time champion sire SOLDIER HOLLOW for almost exactly a decade now, presented Torquator Tasso as the winner of the €5 million Gr.1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Paris-Longchamp. An formidable success, we find, and we send our heartfelt congratulations to the entire Auenquelle team around Peter Michael Endres, Karl-Dieter Ellerbracke, trainer Marcel Weiß and the strong nerved jockey Rene Piechulek! |
