Maximal | Horse Racing Free Tips

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 Insights features a half sibling to Group 1 performers Maximal and Jubiloso.

14.25 Deauville, Mdn, €27,000, 3yo, c/g, 6fT
TREMBLANT (GB) (Shamardal) is the latest representative of Juddmonte's dual listed-winning and multiple group-placed Joyeuse (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), one of Frankel's half-siblings who has already produced the G1 Coronation S. third Jubiloso (GB) to a mating with Shamardal as well as the dual Group 1-placed Maximal (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and dual listed-placed Jovial (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). The only newcomer in the line-up, the Andre Fabre-trained bay is up against Al Shaqab's once-raced homebred Faleh (Fr), a Henri-Francois Devin-trained son of Frankel (GB) whose dam Al Johrah (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) was the nearest pursuer to Lady Aurelia (Scat Daddy) in the 2016 G2 Queen Mary S.

HOW THEY FARED
1.55 Leopardstown, Mdn, €15,000, 3yo, f, 10fT
All Time Great (Justify), the daughter of the GI E. P. Taylor S. and G2 Ribblesdale S. heroine Curvy (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), was up with the pace from the outset before fading to be seventh.

2.30 Leopardstown, Mdn, €12,500, 3yo, c/g, 10fT
The Black Tiger (Justify), the son of Gagnoa (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), was strongly supported into 11-4 favouritism and raced prominently before finishing last of the nine. Aidan O'Brien later reported he had pulled a muscle in his hind quarters.

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 first foal of a Group 1-winning mare.

1.05 Newbury, Novice, £6,400, 2yo, 7fT
LEGEND OF DUBAI (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) was a 500,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum and is the first foal out of the G1 Prix Jean Romanet and G1 Prix de l’Opera heroine Speedy Boarding (GB) (Shamardal). Roger Varian introduces the March-foaled bay in an intriguing maiden featuring several prospective Classic types including Qatar Racing’s Rushmore (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}), another 500,000gns Book 1 buy who is an Andrew Balding-trained half-brother to the GII Glens Falls S. winner Mrs Sippy (Blame), and Juddmonte’s fellow newcomer Maximal (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, he is a half-brother to last year’s G1 Coronation S. third Jubiloso (GB) (Shamardal) from the family of Frankel (GB).

4.15 Curragh, Mdn, €17,000, 2yo, 7fT
WEMBLEY (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) takes centre stage in this maiden that Aidan O’Brien has won six times in the last nine years, including with Australia (GB) in 2013. A full-brother to the G1 Criterium International winner Johannes Vermeer (Ire) and last year’s G2 Debutante S. runner-up Petite Mustique (Ire), the January-foaled bay caught the eye when finishing third in a course-and-distance maiden on June 28. He is joined by the stable’s newcomer HMS Seahorse (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a full-brother to last year’s G2 Futurity S. winner Armory (Ire).
