We have an extraordinary number of yearlings by the very best of an outstanding cast of European sires and, crucially for buyers at every level of Book 1, all 547 Book 1 yearlings can reward owners with the lucrative prize money offered through the £20,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus scheme. While the prize money for the hugely popular Book 1 Bonus Scheme has been slightly reduced in these uncertain times, it still remains uniquely rewarding and a significant number of the fillies in October Book 1 will also be eligible for the recently introduced Great British Bonus scheme.”

Sisters To Ribchester, Santiago Debut

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 the debut of a half-sister to Group 1 winner Ribchester.

12.40 Ascot, Debutantes, £6,000, 2yo, 7fT
MEGALLAN (GB) (Kingman {GB}) is the second foal out of the Listed Lord Weinstock Memorial S. winner Eastern Belle (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) who was placed three times at graded-stakes level in the States including when second in the 2015 GII New York S. As a half-sister to Golden Horn (GB), Eastern Belle is a vital broodmare going forward for Anthony Oppenheimer and her April-foaled colt is unsurprisingly in training with John Gosden. Another with esteemed connections is Jeff Smith’s homebred colt Spirit Mixer (GB) (Frankel {GB}), an Andrew Balding-trained first foal out of Arabian Queen (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) who famously beat Golden Horn in the 2015 G1 Juddmonte International.

1.40 Newmarket, Debutantes, £5,400, 2yo, f, 7fT
LOOKTOTHERAINBOW (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is a half-sister to the four-times Group 1-winning miler Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) who is introduced in the race Charlie Appleby also chose for his past Dubawi luminary Wuheida (GB). The March-foaled bay is one of two Godolphin runners alongside the Saeed bin Suroor-trained Late Morning (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}), whose dam is a half to the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf-winning sire Outstrip (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}).

2.00 Cork, Mdn, €15,500, 2yo, f, 8fT
LIGHT OF MY EYES (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is the latest progeny out of the Niarchos Family’s five-times Group 1-winning dual Classic heroine Divine Proportions (Kingmambo) and therefore a half-sister to a trio of black-type winners. Jessie Harrington saddles the late May foal, who like Ballydoyle’s fellow newcomer La Joconde (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) may need more time. That half-sister to this year’s G1 Irish Derby hero Santiago (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}) was purchased for Coolmore by the Broadhurst Agency for 850,000gns at last year’s Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1 Sale.

Godolphin’s €1-million Arqana December foal NASH NASHA (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) closed out a Charlie Appleby-trained trifecta when third tackling seven furlongs at Newmarket in her July 11 debut and gets a second chance to shed maiden status over an extra furlong in this all-weather bow.
