NUTAN - ONE NOMINATION FOR THE 2024 BREEDING SEASON
Standing at: Vauterhill Stud (GB)
Nutan was an impressive German Derby winner, he is also a half-brother to Group 1 winner Nymphea.
Winning the German Derby lets him join the list that includes Alderflug, Sea the Moon, Shirocco and Schiaparelli.
Nutan was born in Ireland, was bred by Juergen Imm and is trained by Peter Schiergen, and the victory also identified his dam as one of the most exciting young mares in Europe as he is the second Group 1 winner from her first three foals.
Neele (by Peintre Celebre) was only beaten a head when runner-up in a Group 3 contest at Hamburg as a three-year-old, beaten by the Schiergen-trained Avanti Polonia and finishing six lengths clear of her closest pursuer, but her pedigree gave her every chance of gaining compensation at stud.
Since Neele went to stud her full-sister Night Of Magic has won the Group 2 Oaks d’Italia and their half-sister Night Serenade (by Golan) is a Listed scorer, also over middle-distances.
Four of Neele’s first five foals are by sons of Danehill (by Danzig) and the exception is her two-year-old daughter Nazbanou (by High Chaparral).
Her first born is Nymphea (by Dylan Thomas) who won the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin over 12 furlongs at Hoppegarten two years ago, almost a year after she was runner-up in the Group 1 Preis der Diana. She was also pattern placed in England, France and Turkey and was last in action when out of the frame behind We Are in the Group 1 Prix de l’Opera in October.
The mare’s other runner is her second foal Nocturne (by Rock Of Gibraltar), a middle-distance scorer in Germany, and her yearling daughter of Holy Roman Emperor has already been named Navaro Girl.
