Tenth Group One Winner for High Chaparral High Chaparral passed a milestone on the weekend when siring his tenth Group I winner after exciting three year-old Lucky Lion scored a stylish win over older rivals in the Group I Grosser Dallmayr-Preis at Munich in Germany. Already a winner of the Group II German 2000 Guineas and second in the Group I Hamburg Deutsches Derby, Lucky Lion took out the mile and a quarter feature by half a length over Frankel’s full brother Noble Mission. Trained by Andreas Lowe for Gestut Winterhauch, Lucky Lion has four wins and a second from seven starts and is the first winner for his dam Lips Arrow, a stakes-winning Big Shuffle half-sister to German One Thousand Guineas winner Lips Poison. High Chaparral is enjoying a fruitful year in Europe with high class four year-old Toronado claiming the Group I Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot, while the likes of Western Hymn, High Jinx and Contributer and have also posted stakes wins, the latter on his way to Australia having been bought by Darley to join their Australian Godolphin stable under John OShea. High Chaparral will finish the Australian racing season with some 59 winners of $6.6 million. High Chaparral will return to Coolmore Australia this spring at a fee of $60,500 to stand alongside his champion son So You Think at $55,000. From Breednet
