Godolphin Flying Start has a reputation for leading the industry in adapting to new technology and embracing opportunities. The second nationwide lockdown of the UK and Ireland has led to challenges that the Godolphin Flying Start management team has risen to, supplying us with exceptional content and learning experiences.

We speak to Lars-Wilhelm Baumgarten about the continuing success of Adlerflug.

he problems with German racing and breeding are well known, with racecourses closing or under threat of doing so, Tand the number of German mares having declined, but the results achieved by German breeders more than hold their own. Although visiting agents and trainers come to German sales looking generally for a stallion from Ireland, Britain or France, allied to a German family, there is usually one German sire that transcends local interest. For a number of years it was Monsun, who commanded heady fees in his old age, and in recent times Soldier Hollow (In The Wings), if not on the same level, is well Adlerflug, who stands at Gestüt Schlenderhan, where his fee known abroad and has had yearlings sold to Hong Kong and Gr.1 next year will be €16,000, was represented by the 1-2 in this winners in Australia, as well as Europe. year’s Gr.1 . There is another pretender emerging in the shape of Adlerflug. Another son of In The Wings, he certainly has the credentials, starting with his pedigree. Bred and raced by Gestüt Schlenderhan, he is that combination of crosses , not only by the well-established the 40 shares, with Schlenderhan keeping some and other sire, but out of a mare by Last Tycoon. Most of all, however, he leading breeders also, such as Gestüt Brümmerhof, Gestüt belongs to the most famous family of recent years, which, it is Görsldorf, Gestüt Bona and Gregor Fischer, buying into him. easy to forget, is German in origin. His grandam Alya (Lombard) Bad-Harzburg has a very long history, founded in 1413, is a full-sister to Allegretta, who was third in the Gr.3 (then) possesses suitably historic buildings and is in a beautiful, if rather Lingfield Oaks Trial and fame as the dam of Gr.1 2,000 remote, location towards the east of Germany, and it had stood Guineas winner and sire King’s Best and even more so as dam of another winner of the Deutsches Derby, Luciano, the biggest (), not only the winner of the Gr.1 Prix de l’Arc earner in German racing for 40 years, from 1970 to 1981, as well as de Triomphe, but then producer of Galileo, Sea The Stars and 1992 Horse of the Year Platini in relatively recent times.

In addition, Kissler became increasingly ill with the cancer to which he would eventually succumb. In 2016 the situation got worse when the bank decided to withdraw from breeding racehorses and concentrate on its core Spotlight ~ CONTINUED business, banking not breeding . The future of the stud and the races that take place at the old spa and use the stud to lodge the horses, never at all grand like those at Baden, but traditionally social, were thrown into doubt. After some tense negotiations that lasted for about a year, in October 2016 the principal local businesses and town authority of Bad Harzburg took over the stud as a new company, with promises to restore the old buildings. Amidst all the financial shenanigans, Adlerflug did his best. His first yearlings sold reasonably well, though with a top price of €40,000, with some foreign interest from the likes of Highflyer Bloodstock and Crispin de Moubray. On the track he started very respectably with his first few crops, with the likes of Swacadelic, who was subsequently sold to Australia, Liberry Gold, Spend The Cash and particularly Wunder, from his first crop, who took the Gr.3 Prix Chloé in France, as well as two Listed races at home and being Gr.1-placed. Shivajia, from his second crop, took the Gr.2 T. von Zastrow Stutenpreis at three. It was decided that, valued at just over €1m, he would be re- syndicated and the new Gestüt Harzburg GmbH took over the bank’s shares. After consultation with all other former stakeholders Lars-Wilhelm Baumgarten, CEO of Gestüt Harzburg GmbH. it was decided to move the stallion back to his birthplace at Schlenderhan. Step forward Lars-Wilhelm Baumgarten, CEO of Gestüt Harzburg GmbH, who lived locally and, having started as a Derby, but he did land the Gr.2 Grand Prix de Deauville and also journalist for a local newspaper and then for Bild-Zeitung, passed retired to stud, in France. his law exams in 1997. His professional connection with racing Lacazar took the Preis der Diana in 2017, but it is this year that came as the chief executive of the marketing subsidiary of the he has hit the headlines at home and abroad, having the first two sport’s governing body in Cologne. He also became an owner and home in the Deutsches Derby in the form of In Swoop and a founder of the company that has, up to now, run Baden Torquato Tasso, with the latter going on to land his own Gr.1 in racecourse. These are not the only strings to his bow, as he works as a sports agent and has arranged over 500 transfers in German the Grosser Preis von Berlin, with another son of Adlerflug again football, as well as acting as manager of Angelique Kerber, former in second, Dicaprio, and the former putting up one of the best tennis world number one.

Harzburg and it is doubtful that Adlerflug will ever return to If there is one sadness in this story, it is that Andreas Kissler did Harzburg now, which had been mooted when he left. not live to see his last charge take off, for take off Adlerflug “It is an extraordinary story, really,” Baumgarten admits. “The certainly has. Be it through luck or better mares being attracted general picture for German racing and breeding is not good at the through his initial success, but since 2015 he has had no less than moment, but we keep producing good horses and have stallions that five Gr.1 winners, starting with Ito, winner of the Grosser Preis von deserve more recognition.
