Celebrity stars in Germany

Daughter of Shamardal wins the Listed Westminster Fliegerpreis

Shamardal’s four-year-old daughter Celebrity landed her second career Stakes race on Sunday, 12 August when winning the Listed Westminster Fliegerpreis in Germany. Run over 1200m at Hoppegarten, she showed great tenacity to win narrowly, taking her career win tally to four including a triumph in the Listed Baden-Baden Cup last season.

Owned and bred by Gestut Brummerhof, she is the first foal of German Group-winner Cherry Danon (Rock Of Gibraltar), and from the family of Shamardal’s Group-winning miler Sommerabend.

Shamardal is the sire of 23 Stakes performers this season including brilliant Hong Kong performer Pakistan Star and the Royal Ascot Group winning pair Blue Point (G1 King’s Stand Stakes) and Aljazzi (G2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes). Earlier in the afternoon, his juvenile son Shaman finished second in the Listed Prix Francois Boutin in Deauville.
