Darius Racing and Michael Motschmann's hitherto undefeated Gostam (Saxon Warrior) punched his ticket to, and was installed as the new ante-post favourite for, July's G1 Deutsches Derby after a fourth straight career victory in Friday's G2 Wettstar Bavarian Classic at Munich.The 7-10 favourite, who annexed September's G3 Zukunfts-Rennen and October's G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten in a perfect three-race juvenile campaign, lobbed along in second for most of this 10-furlong contest.Encouraged to reduce arrears once into the home straight, he was ridden to gain a slender advantage approaching the furlong pole and pushed out in the closing stages to hold the rallying effort of Winterfavoriten runner-up Lommi (Churchill) by a neck.Pedigree NotesGostam, one of his sire's nine pattern-race winners, is one of two black-type scorers out of the stakes-winning Goiania (Oasis Dream), herself kin to the stakes-winning Geminiano (Wootton Bassett), Wolf Country (Dubawi) and Gualana (Pivotal) as well as Listed Bayerischer Fliegerpreis third Guavia (Invincible Spirit).Guavia is the dam of multiple Group-placed G2 German 2000 Guineas and G3 Premio Parioli (Italian 2000 Guineas) third Ghorgan (Study Of Man) and the stakes-placed Goin' (Nathaniel).The winner, whose second dam is G3 Frankfurter Stutenpreis victrix Goathemala (Black Sam Bellamy), is a half-brother to the stakes-winning GIII Regret Stakes third Gavea (Gleneagles), a two-year-old colt by Blackbeard and a weanling colt by Vandeek. https://t.co/SkWDOMrCGX – Bavarian Classic (GR2) over 2000m at Munich3yo – Group Race – 70.000€GOSTAM c by SAXON WARRIORLOMMI c by CHURCHILLPEACE OF JAPAN c by JAPANDarius Racing & M.
