both went through the Stauffenberg Bloodstock Academy
STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK graduates stamped their class on the Karin Baronin von Ullmann – Schwarzgold‑Rennen, Gr.3 at Cologne on Sunday, with seasonal debutante SANTAGADA by SOLDIER HOLLOW storming home to win, while LIPS VEGA by LOPE DE VEGA fought bravely for third after forcing a searing early pace.
Bred by Gestüt Höny‑Hof and carrying the colours of Gestüt Park Wiedingen, SANTAGADA was produced with a perfectly timed run by Leon Wolff to overhaul the leaders inside the final furlong. The Peter Schiergen‑trained filly becomes the latest Classic prospect by Soldier Hollow, whose progeny have now captured the Schwarzgold‑Rennen three times in the past decade. SANTAGADA was prepped for the BBAG Yearling Sales at SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN, but had to be withdrawn. LIPS VEGA, raised and prepped at SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN by STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK before heading to the Tattersalls October Sale, showed blistering early speed under Hugo Boutin. Bred by Stall Parthenaue, owned by Stall Lintec and trained by Andreas Suborics, she displayed admirable tenacity to finish a close third, paying the price for setting the relentless fractions but confirming her place among Germany’s leading three‑year‑old fillies.
