OLDER HORSES

DSCHINGIS SECRET (GER) - 2013 bay colt
Prolific pattern winner Soldier Hollow (by In The Wings) won four Group 1s over 10 furlongs, the last of them a three-length score in the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis Bayerisches Zuchtrennen at Munich as a seven-year-old, and he has gone on to become one of the leading sires in Germany.

He stands at Gestut Auenquelle, his fee for this year was €25,000, and his 36 stakes winners include the classic stars Pastorius and Serienholde, as well as additional Group 1 winners Our Ivanhowe and Dschingis Secret.

The latter is the most recent of the quartet to achieve that feat and he beat Hawkbill by a length in last month's Group 1 Longines Grosser Preis von Berlin over 12 furlongs at Hoppegarten. This came after a three and three-quarter-length defeat of Iquitos in the Group 2 Hansa Preis over the same trip at Hamburg.

In early May he beat Sirius by six lengths in the Group 2 Gerling-Preis over a mile and a half at Cologne and last year, when he was a half-length third to Isfahan in the Group 1 Deutsches Derby, he was a seven-length winner of the Group 3 St Leger Italiano over 14 furlongs at San Siro.

It is his most recent effort, however, confirmed his status as a serious contender for the Group 1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe as this Timeform 126-rated bay beat Cloth Of Stars and Talismanic by a length and a half and a neck in the Group 2 Qatar Prix Foy over the 12 furlongs at Chantilly. Satono Diamond was fourth and Silverwave fifth.

Dschingis Secret is a full-brother to the dual pattern-placed filly Diana Storm, he is a €200,000 graduate of the BBAG September Yearling Sale, and his mid-March-born yearling full-brother made €500,000 at the most recent edition of that auction.

His dam, Divya (by Platini), won three times at four and five years of age and she is a full-sister to Deva, the dual 10-furlong Group 3-winning dam of Devastar (by Areion), who won the 10-furlong Group 3 Preis der Deutschen Einheit last year.

Deva is also the grandam of 2015 Group 3 Preis der Winterkonigin heroine and German juvenile filly champion Dhaba (by Areion), she is a half-sister to the stakes winners Duke D'Alba (by Monsun) and Dragon Fly (by Acatenango), and out of Diana's Quest (by Rainbow Quest), a winning daughter of the Canadian-born Diana Dance (by Northern Dancer).

That Windfields Farm-bred mare also raced in Germany, where she was a Group 3 scorer over 10 and a half furlongs, runner-up in the Group 2 ARAG-Preis (German 1000 Guineas) and third in the Group 2 Preis der Diana (German Oaks).

A half-sister to Canadian juvenile filly champion Deceit Dancer (by Vice Regent) and to Grade 2 scorer and Japanese stallion Nagurski (by Nijinsky) – the sire of ill-fated champion Hokuto Vega –Diana Dance died young but was also responsible for the prolific gelding Dorlando (by Kris) whose double-digit tally of wins was backed up by several blacktype placings in sprints.

Deceit (by Prince John), the fourth dam of Dschingis Secret, was a prolific stakes winner from five and a half to nine and a half furlongs, with a tally that featured the Acorn Stakes, Mother Goose Stakes, and Matchmaker Stakes, and others of note in the family include the Grade 1 La Brea Stakes heroine Magical Allure (by General Meeting), who was out of a half-sister to Deceit.

Dschingis Secret is among the best German horses of recent years and this Group 1-winning great-grandson of Sadler's Wells (by Northern Dancer) is likely to prove a popular addition to the stallion ranks whenever his racing days come to an end.
