IGOR STRAVINSKY (IRE) (No Nay Never) is the pick of Ryan Moore of two intriguing Ballydoyle newcomers and is the day's most exciting prospect as the first foal out of the G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Bidding to emulate the debut win of her relative Wingspan (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) on Sunday, the February-foaled bay is joined by stablemate Mundi (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the full-brother to another dual Guineas winner in Churchill (Ire) and to the G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Clemmie (Ire) who was withdrawn from Leopardstown on Wednesday due to the testing ground.

Ballydoyle Unveil Justify’s Keeneland September Sensation

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 Insights features a relative to a multiple Grade I winner.

16.05 Curragh, Mdn, €16,500, 2yo, c/g, 8fT
ORTELIUS (Justify), a $1.1-million Keeneland September purchase by M V Magnier, is out of a half to the five-times Grade I-winning Rushing Fall (More Than Ready) and therefore a big deal newcomer for the Ballydoyle stable which has won this maiden for the last nine years. One of those who helped that tally was the future 2000 Guineas hero Saxon Warrior (Jpn), while others include the subsequent group winners Cairo (Ire) (Quality Road), Mogul (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), Yucatan (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Ol' Man River (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}). Also from Rosegreen is the debut fifth House Of Aviz (Uncle Mo), a full-brother to the GIII Santa Ysabel S. scorer and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and GI Starlet S. runner-up Donna Veloce and grandson of the 1999 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies heroine Cash Run (Seeking The Gold).

Uncle Mo’s Nomos Leaves No Doubt In Monmouth Turf Debut

1st-Monmouth, $55,250, Msw, 8-6, 2yo, 1mT, 1:39.91, fm, 4 lengths.
NOMOS (c, 2, Uncle Mo–Westit {GB} {SP-Fr, SP-USA}, by Tapit) went off favored at 9-5 in this grass debut and got a clean start against the fence from the two slot after the rail horse steadied and was pulled up early in the race. Racing in the middle of a tightly-bunched group into the backstretch through an easy opening quarter in :24.15, he stayed glued to the inside and began to pick up momentum and position as the field swung into the far turn. As racing room opened up three wide past the quarter pole, Nomos had a clear path to victory and opened up inside the final furlong to win decisively by four lengths. A full-brother to stakes placed 3-year-old Soviet Excess, Nomos has another full-brother born this year named Waystar while his dam was bred back to Gun Runner for next year. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

RAGING TORRENT (c, 2, Maximus Mischief–Violent Wave, by Violence) received an unconvincing 9-1 chance in this maiden spot after bringing $75,000 at the OBS April Sale and was a step slow behind the field to start.

I Win Again (Speightstown) came home second while $700,000 Keeneland September grad Rothschild (Uncle Mo) took little money and came home fifth. The sixth individual winner for freshman sire Maximus Mischief (by Into Mischief), Raging Torrent has a yearling Honor A.P. half-brother. His dam reported a filly by Collected this spring. Sales History: $27,000 RNA Ylg '22 KEESEP; $75,000 2yo '23 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
