Kingman Colt Looks Tough in Pilgrim

Klaravich Stables’ Public Sector (GB) (Kingman {GB}) will try to build off an impressive debut victory at Saratoga with a graded stakes success as a likely favorite in Saturday’s GII Pilgrim S. for juvenile males on the Belmont turf.

Bought for 170,000 guineas as a Tattersalls October yearling, the bay was unveiled as a 2-1 favorite Aug. 15 at the Spa and rallied from seventh to win going away by two lengths, clocking his final five-sixteenths in a sharp :28.80. He has drilled five times since then for Chad Brown, most recently going five furlongs around dogs on the local turf in 1:01 2/5 (3/11) Sept. 27.

The two most likely upsetters appear to be Larry and Jennifer Goichman’s Shawdyshawdyshawdy (Summer Front) and Mike Rutherford’s American Monarch (American Pharaoh). The former, a first-out victor Aug. 1 at Saratoga, shipped to Kentucky Downs for the Sept. 7 More Than Ready Juvenile S. and closed to be fourth, beaten just a length on the wire. The latter, another debut scorer in upstate New York Aug. 8, returns on just 13 days’ rest after running fourth in the GI Summer S. at Woodbine.

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.
