Santagada Annexes Europe’s Final Group 1 Contest of the Year at Munich

Wait 5 sec.

Gestut Park Wiedingen's five-time Group 3 winner Santagada (Soldier Hollow) had failed in both prior attempts in Group 1 company and made the breakthrough in Saturday's G1 Grosser Allianz Preis von Bayern at Munich.“She likes fast run races and she is absolutely perfect at the correct trip and on the right going,” said trainer Peter Schiergen. “She is a high-class filly, she has never disappointed us and the going and conditions were absolutely in her favour today. Getting third place was our target and she really is very special.”The 113-10 chance was positioned within range of the leaders racing sixth passing the judge first time and remained in that slot as Global Health (Farhh) established a clear lead along the back straight.Making smooth headway off the home turn, she went second passing the quarter-mile pole and stayed on relentlessly under a late drive to deny the long-time leader by a half-length in the dying strides. Tajlina (Kingman) fared best of the international challengers and finished 3 3/4 lengths adrift in third. Großer Allianz Preis von Bayern (GR1) over 2400m at Munich3yo+ – Group Race – 155.000€SANTAGADA 4yo f by SOLDIER HOLLOWGLOBAL HEALTH 5yo g by FARHHTAJLINA 4yo f by KINGMAN Gestüt Park Wiedingen Peter Schiergen Bauyrzhan Murzabayev Gestüt Höny-Hof https://t.co/ydmI90JNyT— Deutscher Galopp (@DeutscherGalopp) November 7, 2026 Pedigree NotesSantagada, who becomes the eighth Group 1 winner for her sire, is the leading performer out of the stakes-winning Salve Venezia (Areion), herself kin to Listed Prix Michel Houyvet victor Sun Of Gold (Golden Horn) Salve Venezia has a weanling filly by Study Of Man to come.The winner's third dam is G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) heroine and G1 Deutsches Derby second Salve Regina (Monsun), herself the dam of three black-type performers headed by GII Ballston Spa Handicap victrix Salve Germania (Peintre Celebre).Salve Regina is a full-sister to G1 Deutsches Derby-winning sires Schiaparelli and Samum and to the dams of G1 Deutsches Derby hero Sea The Moon (Sea The Stars) and G1 Premio Lydia Tesio heroine Sortilege (Tiger Hill).
