DUAL Group 1 star and Woodlands Stud stallion Germany (by Trempolino) died last year, at the age of 22, a loss that was further advertised last weekend when two of his sons extended their undefeated records and picked up Grade 2 prizes.

His brilliant six-year-old Faugheen, a Grade 1 star at Cheltenham and Punchestown last season, made it seven-from-seven with his victory in the Grade 2 Coral Hurdle (registered as the Ascot Hurdle) over two miles, three and a half furlongs at Ascot. He was reviewed here earlier in the year.
