FANTA!!! FANTASTIC MOON triumphs in the 154th Grosser Preis von Baden (Gr.1)

154 is his number! The 154th IDEE German Derby (Gr.1) was his finest hour, and today he once again showed his great class in the 154th Grosser Preis von Baden (Gr.1). Fantastic Moon competed today iat Iffezheim in the €300,000 highlight of the Baden-Baden meeting and turned his performance into a real triumph. The Sea The Moon son, trained by Sarah Steinberg for Liberty Racing 2021, ran an absolutely amazing race. His steady partner René Piechulek parked the colt in the back of the pack for a long time, yet when asked around the final turn, Fantastic Moon shifted up a gear and showed his phenomenal turn of foot, easily drawing clear and relegating the five-time Group winner Dubai Honour to the place of honor by one and a quarter lengths after 2,400 metres. Fantastic Moon's victory did not just come in great style but also in a great time. Clocking in at 2:28,03, the colt ran the fastest time in 28 years!
If all goes well, his next stop will be Paris in October.
