Following a strong second place at his lifetime debut, WINNING SPIRIT lived up to his name today in Munich and recorded his first career win in great style. The Peter Schiergen-trained colt led the way under Rene Piechulek, defended his lead with a lot of heart in the final straight and secured his first victory after 1400 metres with a three-quarter length advantage.
A son of our three-time Champion Sire SOLDIER HOLLOW, WINNING SPIRIT is a full brother to our Champion2YO WHISPERING ANGEL for whom the owner syndicate Liberty Racing 2021 had won the bid at last year's BBAG Yearling Sale. The colt has a nomination for the Gr.3 Zukunftsrennen at the end of August and is a hopeful for the classic route next year.
