In ten crops he has 289 foals registered. Giving up is not an option, as racing is a passion!”Īdlerflug’s figures are quite impressive. “The coronavirus crisis has had a damaging effect all over, especially as our country does not receive any aid from the state, but we are working on new ideas. “ Adlerflug will be covering his best book to date in 2021 with numerous international breeders having booked nominations and, looking at his fee, I can’t think of any other stallion with a ratio of 2% Group 1 winners amongst his progeny of racing age being available for this kind of money. “We recognised Adlerflug’s great potential at an early stage and naturally supported him with our best mares, and this will be the case again for the coming season. His smart betting scheme for the domestic racing scene following the first lockdown in the spring proved to be very successful and has certainly helped to keep the sport alive over here. As a result, Adlerflug’s fee has been raised from €10,000 to €16,000, but that still looks like money well spent in every respect.Īdlerflug is owned by a syndicate of which the charismatic entrepreneur Lars-Wilhelm Baumgarten is one of the leading shareholders. The 2020 season, particularly with regard to his three-year-olds, was easily the best the striking chestnut has had so far, and it looks like there will be more to come. The Gestüt Schlenderhan-based sire Adlerflug has always been amongst the top stallions standing in Germany and has now secured his first domestic Champion Sire title (prize money won) by a comfortable margin.
