Wittekindshof bred MOONLIGHT MAN and NOTRE RULER top in G3 Fürstenberg-Rennen

With MOONLIGHT MAN and NOTRE RULER, two Wittekindshof products entered the starting gates for the G3 Fürstenberg-Rennen, run over 2400m, at Berlin-Hoppegarten today. And both runners did very well.

Racing close to the lead from the get-go, MOONLIGHT MAN ridden by Maxim Pecheur had a strong moment in Hoppegarten's long final straight. However, the colt posed no serious threat to the strongly favoured winner ultimately finishing one length behind in an excellent second place. The four-year-old by Reliable Man out of MOONLIGHT SYMPHONY is prepared by Markus Klug for the Moser family.

Half a length behind, NOTRE RULER finished a strong third under Lukas Delozier. The colt out of the Champion2YO NORDTÄNZERIN was fourth in this year's German Derby and is in training with Peter Schiergen for owners Stall Hornoldendorf. Our draft for this year's BBAG Yearling Sale, which takes place in just under four weeks in Iffezheim, features a close relative to NOTRE RULER. With Lot 43 we offer a chestnut colt whose second dam is a half-sister of NOTRE RULER.
