Haras de Montaigu's Nietzsche Has off to a successful start with first mares in foal

The first mares have been scanned in foal to Haras de Montaigu's exciting young prospect Nietzsche Has.

The son of Zarak has successfully covered Ecurie Sagaraand's Menorca, a Polyglote half-sister to the black-type-placed Gold In Love, and Elevage de Ka's La Reine, a daughter of Galiway from the close family of Grade 1 Prix Alain du Breil winner Mesange Royale. Another mare in foal is Goldford Stud's Grade 1-placed Urticaire, the dam of two winners. 

A high-class performer himself with wins in the Grade 2 Finale Juvenile Hurdle at Chepstow and Grade 3 Prix Hope at Auteuil for Marcel Rolland, the four-year-old was also Grade 1-placed when second in the Prix Cambaceres on his penultimate start. 

Nietzsche Has was bred by Scea Hamel Stud out of the Martaline mare Nice To Meet You, a sister to Grade 1 winner and exciting Haras de la Hetraie sire Nirvana Du Berlais and half-sister to Grade 2 Prix Ingre winner Toscana Du Berlais among four black-type winners or performers. 

Nietzsche Has is in turn a half-brother to dual Listed-winning chaser Niko Has, by Great Pretender. 

He stands his first season for €7,000.
