Ralf Paulick to stand first son of Acclamation in Germany

Listed winner Ross will begin his stallion career later this year at the stud of Ralf Paulick, situated south of Berlin. The move will make the seven-year-old the first son of Acclamation to stand in Germany.

Trained by Peter Schiergen, Ross ran out a 15-length winner on his three-year-old debut and progressed to win the Listed Prix Luthier, beating Sovereign Debt, on his tenth and final start that season.

Ross was targeted at three Meydan spring carnivals by Schiergen, going down by only a neck to Second Summer in the 2017 Group 2 Godolphin Mile. He was an admirably consistent performer and finished second in a valuable conditions stakes in Deauville last year as a six-year-old.

Bred by Till Grewe, Ross is out of Ronja, a Listed-winning miler in Germany by El Corredor and will be offered to breeders at a €1,000 fee.
