SANTAGADA by SOLDIER HOLLOW made the perfect start to the new season at Hannover, beginning 2026 just as she ended 2025 — in the winner’s enclosure.

The Gestüt Park Wiedingen mare returned in style in the Großer Preis der Burckhardt Gruppe – Hannoverscher Stutenpreis, L. over 2,000 metres. Ridden by Leon Wolff and trained by Peter Schiergen, SANTAGADA won comfortably at Hannover, confirming once again the class that made her one of last season’s standout performers. SANTAGADA is bred by Gestüt Hönyhof and was prepped by STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK for the BBAG Yearling Sale where she had to be withdrawn due to technical problems with her registration.

Another bred by Gestüt Hönyhof and prepped by STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK, but this time consigned and sold at the BBAG Yearling Sale is WIKINGER by TEN SOVEREIGNS who finished third in the Großer Sprint Preis von Rossmann, L. over 1,300 metres. Trained by Henk Grewe for Cometica AG and also partnered by Leon Wolff, WIKINGER ran on to secure a podium finish behind Dino and Megarry.
