- 

Tornado Alert saw some strong efforts in the UK rewarded with a first GI success in Germany on Sunday, with the Too Darn Hot colt decisively beating older opposition in the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis.

Fourth behind Ruling Court in the GI 2,000 Guineas, the Saeed Bin Suroor-trained three-year-old had no problems with rain-softened ground in Munich as he scored by two and a half lengths over GI Prix Ganay runner-up Map Of Stars.

Tornado Alert is the fifth Godolphin horse to win the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis following Kutub, Benbatl, Barney Roy and Nations Pride, and the first three-year-old in the royal blue silks to triumph. He looks set to tackle more GI races over a mile and a quarter over the coming months, having shown his versatility with ground conditions.

Sovereignty has already shown himself to be the best three-year-old in North America and the Bill Mott-trained colt backed up his Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes wins with another assured display in Saturday's G2 Jim Dandy Stakes.
