UDGING by the weekend’s
Group 1 results in Europe,
anyone might form the view
that racing was always
predictable. Sea The Stars
took the best form into Saturday’s
Coral-Eclipse and duly won in style;
Lord Shanakill followed suit in
Sunday’s Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly,
and Wiener Walzer completed a treble
for the form horses at the top level
with a comfortable score in Germany’s
premier Classic, the Deutsches Derby,
in Hamburg.
It was not straightforward for
punters in Germany, because although
Wiener Walzer was number one on
the card by virtue of having the
highest official rating, his trainer’s
number one jockey chose to partner
unbeaten stable-companion and 9-10
favourite Suestado.
Adrie De Vries’s decision proved
costly, as the Monsun colt, far from
making the expected improvement
from his Listed win in Hanover a
month ago, beat only three of his 16
rivals. He finished 14 lengths behind
Wiener Walzer, whose previous Group
2 triumph in the principal Derby trial,
the Union-Rennen, had to be
considered the best public form.
This was Wiener Walzer’s third win
from four starts. He appeared only
once as a juvenile, giving no
indication of Classic potential as fifth
in a minor event in Cologne at the
beginning of November, although it
was reasonable to assume he would
be better as a three-year-old.
The colt created a more favourable
impression on his return at Bremen in
April, trotting up by seven lengths,
and his win last month in the 1m3f
Union-Rennen ensured he would head
three-year-old rankings by Derby day.
Saphir was rated second by virtue
of his Group 3 win in the Bavarian
Classic (1m2f) in Munich, while
Oriental Lion and Panyu, who both
chased Wiener Walzer home in
Cologne, ranked third and fourth.
If there was any reason to doubt
Wiener Walzer’s Derby credentials,
perhaps it was the fact that he drifted
right after taking the lead in the
Union-Rennen, which might have
been interpreted that he was nearing
the limit of his stamina. But on
Sunday he gave a more professional
performance and saw out the 1m4f
well, winning by a length and a
quarter and a neck from outsiders in
Sordino and Toughness Danon.
Pedigree tends to be a poorer guide
than form when it comes to
winner-finding, but in this case it
proved equally effective, as Wiener
Walzer was emphatically the best-bred
contender, coming from a background
readily recognisable as top-class at
international level. And almost
uniquely, where winners of the
Deutsches Derby are concerned, there
is nothing German about it.
Wiener Walzer holds a German
passport, as he was foaled at
Schlenderhan, but his 61 closest
ancestors – shown in the adjacent
five-generation tabulated pedigree –
all had their origins in elsewhere. The
US, Canada, England, Ireland, France
and Italy all feature, while Germany is
conspicuous by its absence.
Wiener Walzer comes from the 16th
crop by the once lightly regarded
Dynaformer, a massive (17 hands)
son of Roberto who hardly seemed
built for careering around America’s
tight ovals but who was tough enough
to race 30 times during three seasons
there. He retired with seven victories
to his name, most notably at Grade 2
level in the Jersey Derby (1m2f) and
the Discovery Handicap (1m1f), both
as a three-year-old. He showed
versatility too, placing in Graded
company on dirt at both 1m and
1m5f, while two of his wins and a
third place in the Grade 2 Dixie
Handicap (1m4f) displayed his
effectiveness on grass.
Those achievements, and the bank
balance of $671,207 they brought
him, were creditable enough, but they
could not make him an automatic
favourite of Kentucky breeders. He
had not been precocious, he owned
more stamina than speed, he had no
Grade 1 win on his cv and he could
not flaunt a fashionable pedigree. He
would have to make his name the
hard way, and with his fee set at
$5,000 for his first five seasons, he
could not rely on quality mares.
From the outset, Dynaformer did
something important to draw
attention; he passed on his soundness
to a remarkable degree. Of the 47
named foals in his first crop, 46 ran
and 42 won, and that pattern has
continued throughout his career, so
that to the end of 2008, with 16 crops
of racing age, the latest of them still
largely unrepresented, no fewer than
84 per cent of his foals had reached
the track and 61 per cent had won.
The merit of that record may be
gauged by a comparison with his
exact contemporary Seeking The
Gold, who registered 78 per cent
runners and 54 per cent winners over
the same period, while always
favoured with higher quality mates.
Dynaformer had no winner at
Grade 1 level until Vergennes, from
his fifth crop, landed the 1998
Hollywood Derby, and the wait for a
top-level success on dirt was even
longer, lasting until his seventh-crop
daughter Critical Eye took the 2000
Gazelle Handicap.
Group 1/Grade 1 victories have
come regularly since then, Wiener
Walzer being the 14th individual to
attain that level, and the ninth to do
so on grass. Those figures became 15
and ten a few hours later, when
Gozzip Girl took the American Oaks
Invitational at Hollywood Park. OVER a decade passed
between the first Pattern
success in Europe for a
Dynaformer product – by
Voyagers Quest in the
1996 Prix Saint-Roman – and the
second, but since Lucarno’s 2007
Great Voltigeur, en route to a more
consequential St Leger triumph,
Michita, Tajaaweed, Americain and
Rainbow View all added to the tally
before Wiener Walzer’s Classic score.
The Deutsches Derby hero is the
second foal, and second Pattern
winner, of his dam Walzerkonigin,
whose first, the Rahy colt
Walzertraum, took last year’s
Bavarian Classic. The mare was
herself a high-class performer,
winning in Group 3 company in
France and at Group 2 level in
Germany before re-crossing the
Atlantic to more than double her
earnings, thanks chiefly to a fine
effort as runner-up in the Grade 1
Flower Bowl Invitational.
Walzerkonigin was out of a mare,
Great Revival, who earned nothing in
three runs in Ireland but had some
pedigree to recommend her as a
broodmare. By Keen, a lower-profile
brother to Kris and Diesis, she was
delivered by Prudent Girl, the dam of
top-grade winners Play It Safe (Prix
Marcel Boussac) and Providential
(Washington International), and
grand-dam of Saratoga Springs
(Racing Post Trophy).
Wiener Walzer is a worthy addition
to the long list of celebrities in this

long-established quality family

Mit KINGMAMBO dem Muttervater von WIENER WALZER ist nocheinmal amerikanisches Blut im Pedigree und dazu ist dies ein sehr schoener und harmonischer Hengst.
Dann in der naechsten Generation haben wir mit KEEN einen Vollbruder zu KRIS und DIESIS,hier beginnt dann die englische Blutlinie des Pedigrees.

Sollte der Hengst in Deutschland aufgestellt werden,haben wir Blutanschluss durch ACATENANGO(bzw.SURUMU) ueber : RELIANCE (DOUBLY SURE - KEENs Mutter)

Durch LAW SOCIETY : RIBOT,ALIBHAI,HELIOPOLIS und natuerlich NASRULLAH.

Durch RANSOM O'WAR : ROBERTO, NASHUA(dann 3X) und MY BABU.

Durch DASHING BLADE : SHARPEN UP und NATIVE DANCER.

Durch DAI JIN : NUREYEV , RAISE A NATIVE, NORTHERN DANCER (3X)


Um nur einige Verbindungen zu nennen,und damit werden wir uns langsam aber sicher dem Ende der deutschen Linienzuchten naehern,natuerlich bleiben sie ganz weit hinten im Pedigree erthalten.

DYNAFORMER hatte noch einen Gr I Sieger: Die AMERICAN OAKS-Siegerin:

GOZZIP GIRL

Auch sie ist wie WIENER WALZER aus einer KINGMAMBO Mutter.
