bred and owned by Graf und Gräfin Stauffenberg
The 3yo filly FIRE AND ICE (by Masar-Frangipani) carried the colours of her breeders GRAF UND GRÄFIN STAUFFENBERG to a striking maiden victory on her racecourse debut at Hoppegarten on Easter Sunday in front of a bumper crowd. Trained by Sarah Steinberg and partnered by Rene Piechulek, she overcame a hesitant start, settled in mid-division and then quickened smartly to draw clear of her well-bred, highly regarded rivals at the finish. With this promising debut she announced herself a live Classic contender for the Gr.1 Preis der Diana – German Oaks at Dusseldorf on the 3rd of August over 2.200m. In the meantime FIRE AND ICE holds an entry in the Gr.3 Diana Trial over the same distance back at Hoppegarten on the 8th of June.
Born and raised at SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN, FIRE AND ICE is the fourth foal and third winner out of the 2yo winner FRANGIPANI, whose second is the multiple Champion and multiple Gr.1 winner FANTASTIC MOON. Through FRANGIPANI and her dam FIREDANCE, she descends from the foundation mare of GRAF UND GRÄFIN STAUFFENBERG, FRAULEIN TOBIN.
