| Man, has he got a heart! screamed racing commentator Marvin Schridde - and how right he is! DEVASTAR by Areion scored big in the G3 Grosser Preis von Lotto-Hamburg (€55,000) and in doing so, he shone once again with his big and beautiful heart. Adrie de Vries took the six-year-old colt to the lead from the get-go and the pair dictated the pace for all the 2000 m on Hambourg's track. Devastar fired the turbo once he left he final turn and charged for home when the heavily favorized Va Bank started a late attack and the two horses delivered a goose bump finish to the wire. Va Bank had even his nose in front for a moment, but Devastar dug deep and found ever more to have his head in front at the wire. What an incredible fighter this colt is! |
