Andreas Wohler trainee Lady Ewelina (GB) (Mukhadram {GB}–Quadri {GB}, by Polish Precedent) closed her unbeaten two-race juvenile campaign with a clear-cut victory Hannover's Listed Grosser Preis der Mehl-Mulhens-Stiftung and made a winning seasonal return in Sunday's G3 Karin Baronin von Ullmann – Schwarzgold-Rennen at Cologne.
The 7-2 chance, who debuted with a 10-length rout at Warsaw in August, was steadied to race at the back of the main cluster in seventh. Gradually improving from halfway, she made relentless headway in the straight to launch her bid approaching the final furlong and was ridden out in the closing stages to prevail by a half-length from G3 Preis der Winterkonigin third Tamarinde (Ger) (Amaron {GB}).
“She really is a classy filly, but may have actually needed this race to bring her forward,” said Wohler. “She is definitely in need of a longer trip, so I am not quite sure about running her in the [G2] German 1000 Guineas.”
Pedigree Notes
Lady Ewelina, the latest of 15 live foals, is one of seven scorers produced by an unraced half-sister to Listed Pretty Polly S. victrix Fashionable (GB) (Nashwan), herself the dam of stakes-winning G1 Prix Marcel Boussac and G1 Irish Oaks placegetter Jack Naylor (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}). Her second dam Fine Detail (Ire) (Shirley Heights {GB}) is a winning half-sister to five stakes performers headed by MGISW US champion Wandesta (GB) (Nashwan). The March-foaled bay, whose third dam De Stael (Nijinsky II) is a full-sister to G1 Coronation Cup-winning sire Quiet Fling (Nijinsky II), is a half-sister to G1 Herbie Dyke S. victor Turn Tide (GB) (Medicean {GB}) and the dual stakes-placed Eva Kant (GB) (Medicean {GB}).
