On Valentine’s Day 2026, we welcomed an extraordinary new arrival at our farm at SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN: a colt by the outstanding racehorse and sire SEA THE STARS out of our mare FANG MICH. While every new foal is special, this one stands out as the first fourth-generation homebred for GRAF UND GRÄFIN STAUFFENBERG.
This colt’s lineage traces back to their foundation mare, FRAULEIN TOBIN, the fifth dam of this foal. FRAULEIN TOBIN already the dam of 2yo Gr.3 winner GERMANE by DISTANT RELATIVE, gave Marion and Philipp beside other winners two daughters – FOUR ROSES by DARSHAAN and FIREDANCE by LOMITAS. Both produced Groupwinners themselves, the former Gr.2 winner FOUR SINS by SINNDAR and the latter Gr.3 winner FEARLESS HUNTER by ALHAARTH. However, FIREDANCE is currently the one with more significance, as she produced FRANGIPANI by JUKEBOX JURY—the dam of Gr.1 winner FANTASTIC MOON by SEA THE MOON. FANG MICH, the dam of this new foal, is a sister to FANTASTIC MOON, whoose sire is by SEA THE STARS. Thus, this new arrival is the latest chapter in a lineage filled with top class racehorses and long lasting memories.
What makes this even more special is the personal story behind it. Marion and Philipp first met through FRAULEIN TOBIN back in 1994. Now, 32 years later, this colt represents not only a breeding milestone but also a testament to their shared journey. With each generation, they celebrate not just the foals, but the love, dedication, and history that brought them here.
