Group 2 Runner-Up for Time Test

Last season’s Group 3 winner Rocchigiani (Time Test-Ronja by El Corredor) produced an outstanding effort to run second to the unbeaten English trained colt Maljoom in the Group 2 German 2000 Guineas run over 1600m on firm ground at Cologne on Sunday.

Enterprisingly ridden the Time Test colt showed a real turn of foot to dash well clear turning for home only to be run down by the eventual winner, with five lengths to third horse. The winning time was a quick 1.35.85.

Rocchigiani’s effort comes a week after the Time Test filly Love Interest ran third in a listed event at York.

Confidence in knowing that buying an LA product it has being raised properly and with their record of success in black-type racing you have a better than even chance of the horse competing at the pinnacle of Australasian racing
