Galileo’s Espionage A New Rising Star At The Curragh

A day after Ballydoyle had demonstrated the power of their 2-year-old reserves at Newmarket, Espionage (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) became the stable's 11th TDN Rising Star juvenile of 2022 in The Curragh's opening maiden on Sunday. Unlucky on debut when runner-up to stablemate and fellow TDN Rising Star Alexandroupolis (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) over an extended mile at Galway Sept. 6, the son of the G2 Ribblesdale S. winner Even Song (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) was sent forward by Ryan Moore dropping back to seven for this Williamhill.ie Irish EBF Maiden. Clear from two out on the far side, the 9-4 favourite had 1 3/4 lengths to spare over stablemate Sierra Blanca (Ire) (No Nay Never), a son of Alexandrova (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), at the line with another half a length back to the well-regarded Michael O'Callaghan trainee Djockovic (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in third.

“He ran well the last day, when the other horse got up the rail and he had to come around,” Aidan O'Brien said of the imperious sire's 41st TDN Rising Star. “Ryan said he's babyish and when he got to the start he was a little bit anxious. He might go for something like the [G3] Killavullan or the [G3] Eyrefield at Leopardstown. We won't force him. He looks a middle-distance horse for next year and usually when you get a Galileo that wins over seven it bodes well.”

Even Song, who is a half-sister to the G1 St Leger and G1 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares heroine Simple Verse (Ire) (Duke Of Marmalade {Ire}) and to the G2 Superlative S.-placed Maxentius (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), also has a yearling full-sister to the winner and a filly foal by Wootton Bassett (GB) to come.

REGAL HONOUR (IRE) (Dubawi {Ire}) represents Charlie Appleby's Godolphin stable and ticks a lot of boxes as a 625,000gns Book 1 graduate who is a half-brother to the G1 Moyglare Stud S. and G1 Coronation S. winner Rizeena (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) and this stable's dual group scorer Summer Romance (Ire) (Kingman {GB}). Also making his debut is Valmont's Mr Buster (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), a half-brother to the smart Ballymacoll stayers Patkai (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}) and Modun (Ire) (King's Best) who hails from the Ralph Beckett stable already successful with a juvenile son of the sire since racing returned to the Rowley Mile on Saturday.

Ulysses Colt Takes The Eye In Newmarket Cambridgeshire Meeting Opener

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. Thursday's Observations features a half-brother to Sacred (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}).

1.15 Newmarket, Mdn, £10,000, 2yo, c/g, 8fT
A DUBLIN LAD (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}) is slated to be the first favourite of Newmarket's three-day Cambridgeshire meeting which plays host to some exciting juveniles and is one from John and Thady Gosden's crew who sports the Derby-winning silks of Saeed Suhail. A 300,000gns Book 1 graduate, which made him the sire's clear highest-priced progeny sold at auction last year, the April-foaled bay is a half-brother to the G2 Hungerford S. winner Sacred (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) who reminded everybody what a class act she is last week at Newbury. In the maiden won in recent times by Telescope (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Eminent (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) and Ghaiyyath (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), another interesting contender is the similarly-unraced William Haggas-trained Garden Route (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a son of the G1 S A Nursery winner Cloth Of Cloud (SAf) (Captain Al {SAf}) from the family of Artie Schiller who represents Magnier/Shanahan/Nagle/Kantor.
