Tara Madgwick - Monday June 11
Aquis shuttler Holy Roman Emperor (IRE) has been in top form this year and has a very bright prospect in German bred filly Well Timed, who won the Group II Hoppegarten Diana Trial on the weekend.

Holy Roman EmperorA homebred for Stall Ullman, Well Timed posted a Listed win on May 19 and took another step forward in this assignment powering clear to win the 10 furlong staying test by a length and a quarter.

With three wins from four starts, Well Timed is now at the forefront of the contenders for the upcoming Group I Preis der Diana (German Oaks).

A versatile proven Group I sire who gets sprinters, stayers and everything in between, Holy Roman Emperor has enjoyed a great start to 2018 with Group I Irish Two Thousand Guineas winner Romanised among his recent stakes-winners that also include Group III winner Duca Valentinois, a Brisbane Winter Carnival star for Godolphin.

With 73 stakes-winners worldwide and 6.2% stakes-winners to runners, Holy Roman Emperor represents phenomenal value at his 2018 service fee of $9,900.
