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. Friday’s Insights features the first foal of dual Arc heroine Treve (Fr) (Motivator {GB}).
12.10 Chantilly, Cond, €27,000, 2yo, 6fT
Le Haras de La Gousserie’s €62,000 Arqana August bargain buy SEALIWAY (FR) (Galiway {Ire}) posted one of France’s leading freshman performances when impressing with a two-length debut success, defeating two subsequent wide-margin winners, over this distance at Saint-Cloud last month for the Frederic Rossi/Pierre-Charles Boudot axis. With the presence of Scuderia Micolo’s Giulio Cesare (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}) in this straight dash, turfistes will have an early opportunity to compare collateral form with juvenile benchmark Livachope (Fr) (Goken {Fr}). The homebred bay, himself the winner of a form-franked maiden on debut at this venue last month, was six-lengths adrift of that sensation in last Sunday’s Listed Prix La Fleche.
