Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Today’s Observations features a full-sister to a former Ballydoyle luminary.
1.20 Leopardstown, Mdn, €16,500, 2yo, f, 7fT
GLINTING (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is Ballydoyle’s first European runner on an important day for the stable’s juveniles and she is a significant one as an unraced full-sister to the promoted and then demoted G1 St Leger winner Bondi Beach (Ire) and to the G2 Great Voltigeur S. runner-up Constantinople (Ire). She will have to be smart to deal with The Aga Khan’s Eylara (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), a Dermot Weld-trained Gowran Park runner-up who is a half-sister to the multiple group winner and G1 Irish and Yorkshire Oaks and G1 Hong Kong Vase-placed Eziyra (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}).
