Wildcards Added To Goresbridge

Twenty-three wildcards have been added to the July 24 Tattersalls Ireland Goresbridge Breeze-Up Sale which, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, will take place at Park Paddocks in Newmarket this year rather than Fairyhouse in Ireland. The breeze is scheduled for the Rowley Mile on July 22.

Among the wildcards are lot 227, a No Nay Never half-brother to stakes winner We Are Ninety (Ire) (Thewayyouare); lot 230, a filly by red hot second-season sire Night Of Thunder (Ire) out of a full-sister to G3 Gladness S. winner Sruthan (Ire) (Arakan); lot 248, a Kodiac (GB) filly whose dam is a half-sister to the Listed Hilary Needler Trophy winner Geesala (Ire) (Barathea {Ire}) and the listed-placed Tomintoul Singer (Ire) (Johannesburg); lot 250, a Shalaa (Ire) colt whose dam is closely related to Dabirsim (Fr) (Hat Trick {Jpn}) and is also from the family of Sea Of Class (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and her slew of over-achieving sisters; lot 251, a Siyouni (Fr) brother to two listed-placed winners; lot 253, a filly by exciting young sire Make Believe (GB); and lot 254, an American Pharoah filly who is the second foal out of the listed-winning Innocent Love (Grand Slam).

Juddmonte Half To Kingman Back In Town

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 a half-brother to Horse of the Year and leading sire Kingman.

2.35 Naas, Mdn, €15,500, 2yo, c/g, 6fT
With a potent juvenile contingent primed for Royal Ascot action, Aidan O’Brien has pinpointed a relatively low-key opportunity for Susan Magnier’s MILITARY STYLE (War Front), who is a son of G1 Fillies’ Mile victress Together Forever (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and thus a full-brother to this month’s stakes-placed G3 Jersey S. also-ran King of Athens. His six rivals include unraced stablemate Mexico City (Fr) (No Nay Never), a €160,000 Arqana December foal turned 260,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling, who is a grandson of G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner and G1 Prix de Diane third Goldamix (Ire) (Linamix {Fr}).

Khalid Abdullah’s SUNRAY MAJOR (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a half-brother to MG1SW sire Kingman (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) out of MG1SW G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches heroine Zenda (GB) (Zamindar), makes a swift return for the John Gosden stable less than two weeks after romping to victory in his June 7 debut over this strip. Burdened by a seven-pound penalty for that success, he is accompanied by Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s fellow once-out winner Montather (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), a Roger Varian trainee from the family of MG1SW G1 1000 Guineas heroine Shadayid (Shadeed), who too carries extra for annexing a one-mile novice heat at Chelmsford in November.
