FANTASTIC MOON (Sea the Moon-FRANGIPANI) delivered a sensational performance in the Grosser Preis von Baden-Baden in the hands of his jockey Rene Piechulek storming home with his incredible turn of foot from last to first in ideal conditions - good ground and a fast run race, documented by the fastest time in the race for the last 24 years. Trained by Sarah Steinberg and owned by Liberty Racing who purchased FANTASTIC MOON at the BBAG Yearling Sales the Champion 2yo and 3yo colt bred by GRAF UND GRÄFIN STAUFFENBERG won his 7th race and second on Gr.1 level and has now earned more then €860.000, not bad for a horse purchased for €49.000 when consigned by STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK.
What a "fantastic" flag bearer FANTASTIC MOON is for all involved including the teams around his breeders GRAF UND GRĂ„FIN STAUFFENBERG, SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN the farm where he was raised and prepped and STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK who have now consigned and sold two Derbywinners since 2010.
FRANGIPANI has a 2yo filly named FIRE AND ICE by MASAR in training with Sarah Steinberg for her breeders and a colt foal by SEA THE STARS. She is back in foal to SEA THE MOON.
