Promising three-year-old Quarantini, who is closely related to talented half-brothers Querari and Quasillo, stamped herself a potential classic contender when she won impressively in Germany last week.
The filly is now likely to be aimed at first the G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen before possibly being pointed towards the G2 German 1000 Guineas.
A daughter of Belardo, Quarantini is out of the Lomitas mare Quariana -whose German 1000 Guineas winning dam Quebrada also ranks as the granddam of both Quasillo and Querari.
The latter is having another outstanding season in 2021-2022 thus far, with the son of Oasis Dream currently sixth on the General Sires List (his progeny have banked more than R8.657 million this season thus far), and he heads the Leading Sires of 2YOs List.
Among Querari’s flagbearers this season are G3 Pretty Polly Stakes queen Galla Vanting, impressive G3 Umzimkhulu Stakes winner Supreme Quest, and Ruffian Stakes heroine River Queraress.
Querari, who shares his sire with current leading 2022 Qipco 2000 Guineas hope Native Trail,has an exceptional draft on offer at the upcoming National Yearling Sale.
Among his potential standout lots on the sale are a full-brother to G2 Golden Slipper winner Cockney Pride, a half-sister (Lot 128) to G3 Prix Du Cap winner Elusive Heart, and a half-sister (Lot 338) to this season’s very promising two-year-old Wecangoallnight.
