Our Areion-son DEVASTAR delivered an absolutely brilliant performance today in the Listed-level, €25,000 Röttgen-Cup, where he went gate-to-wire to dominate an elect field consisting of group winners and as well as last year's derby runner-up Enjoy Vijay. In the saddle of the six-year-old was Filip Minarik, who immediately ordered the colt to the lead to control the 2200 m at a moderate pace. When entering the straight the opponents called to attack, Devastar remained unimpressed and easily drew clear by a domineering four and a half lengths - truly a top performance by the son of our DEVA, who - like a good wine - gets better and better with age!
