Lillie Langtry’s Latest Appears At The Curragh

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. Saturday's Observations features a daughter of superproducer Lillie Langtry (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}).

1.20 Newmarket, Debutantes, £8,000, Mdn, 2yo, 7fT
JALAPA (GB) (Expert Eye {GB}) is one of the first of the bluebloods to appear on a fascinating Saturday and the half-sister to Westover (GB) (Frankel {GB}) represents the Juddmonte-Ralph Beckett combination responsible for the Irish Derby hero. The April-foaled bay encounters a Charlie Appleby representative in Elegant Charm (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), a granddaughter of the Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Gossamer (GB) (Sadler's Wells).

1.30 Curragh, Mdn, €16,500, 2yo, 7fT
BOY SCOUT (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is one of two Ballydoyle newcomers in this intriguing affair and the pick of Ryan Moore, with the 925,000gns Book 1 graduate being a half-brother to the GII Glens Falls S. winner and GI Flower Bowl S. runner-up Mrs Sippy (Blame). A relative of Grand Lodge, the April-foaled bay is joined by another colt of significance from Rosegreen in Salt Lake City (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the first foal out of the G2 Queen Mary S. and G2 Flying Childers S. winner Heartache (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}) who was purchased by Coolmore for 1.3 million gns at the 2018 Tattersalls December Mares Sale.

2.05 Curragh, Cond, €27,000, 2yo, f, 7fT
DELIGHTFUL (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is another major presence on the card, being the eighth foal out of Coolmore's superproducer Lillie Langtry (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). While Ryan Moore has opted for the experienced daughter of Clemmie (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Unless (Justify), the late May-foaled full-sister to Minding (Ire), Tuesday (Ire) and Empress Josephine (Ire) will have eyes upon her for positive signs with her career ahead of her.

3.50 Deauville, Debutantes, €27,000, 2yo, f, 7 1/2fT
ARDENT (Frankel {GB}) is another big Juddmonte prospect on the day, being a daughter of the four-times Grade I winner Emollient (Empire Maker) and a full-sister to the fellow Andre Fabre-trained G2 Prix de Malleret scorer Raclette (GB). There is another Frankel lurking here in the Wertheimers' Kelina (Ire), a Carlos Laffon-Parias-trained relative of Dansili's Group 1-winning siblings With You (GB) and We Are (Ire).

Fastnet Rock Filly Impresses With Spa Debut

2nd-Saratoga, $105,000, Msw, 8-4, 2yo, f, 5 1/2fT, 1:02.45, fm, 1/2 length.
ALLURING ANGEL (GB) (f, 2, Fastnet Rock {Aus}–All of Me {GB}, by Teofilo{Ire}), a 48,000gns weanling purchase out of the 2020 Tattersalls December Foal Sale, went off as the 4-1 third choice Thursday in her career debut. Far back off the pace with only one horse beat through the opening furlong, she raced two wide outside of Gustiamo (Blame) before clearing to the rail midway around the bend. Under a ride past the quarter pole, Alluring Angel swung out five wide as the field straightened and began to rally with authority down the center of the lane. As pacesetter Illicit (Into Mischief) tired into the final eighth, post-time favorite Cowichan (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) briefly took over from the three path before being inhaled on the outside by a fast closing Alluring Angel who stormed past in the final strides to win by a half-length. Illicit would fade to wind up fifth. The winner is bred on a similar cross to this owner's Star Devine (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), who achieved 'TDN Rising Star' honors with a fast-finishing debut victory at Aqueduct in April 2021. Star Devine, who won last year's Galway S. at the Spa, is out of a daughter of the late Galileo (Ire), while Thursday's winner is out of a mare by Galileo's successful son Teofilo (Ire). All Of Me (GB), herself a half-sister to MG1SP I Can Fly (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), has since produced a yearling colt by Showcasing (GB) and dropped a colt by Earthlight (Ire) in 2022. Sales History: 48,000gns Wlg '20 TATFOA. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $57,750. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

2.10 Naas, Mdn, €16,000, 2yo, f, 8fT
FONISKA (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) was withdrawn from her intended debut at Leopardstown in June due to a respiratory infection, but is ready to go now for Flaxman Stables Ireland and Jessie Harrington. A daughter of the G2 Kilboy Estate S. winner Bocca Baciata (Ire) (Big Bad Bob {Ire}), the May-foaled bay encounters Ballydoyle's Leopardstown third Dame Kiri (Justify), whose dam is a full-sister to Alice Springs (Ire).

2.40 Naas, Mdn, €16,500, 2yo, c/g, 8fT
DENMARK (GB) (Camelot {GB}) is a notable newcomer from Ballydoyle, as the €440,000 Arqana Deauville October Yearling Sale topper whose dam is the group 1 performer Board Meeting (Ire) (Anabaa). A half-brother to the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud third Big Blue (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), the February-foaled bay is met by Juddmonte's similarly-unraced View Taken (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), a Colin Keane-trained half-brother to his listed-winning TDN Rising Star stablemate Straight Answer (GB) (Kodiac (GB}).

3.40 Naas, Cond, €300,000, 2yo, 5f 205yT
APRICOT TWIST (IRE) (Expert Eye {GB}) earned TDN Rising Star status on debut over this course and distance and returns 12 days later to tackle this valuable median auction race, the Irish EBF Ballyhane S. Ger Lyons is taking the brave route backing up Juddmonte's Book 1 purchase, with the abundant opposition including Anne Marie O'Brien's G2 Airlie Stud S. runner-up and G3 Anglesey S. third Badb (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}).
