Alcantor Looks To Get Back On Track At Clairefontaine

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. Wednesday's Observations features a returning 'TDN Rising Star'.

13.25 Clairefontaine, Cond, €34,000, 2yo, 8fT
ALCANTOR (FR) (New Bay {GB}) is moved up to a mile from six furlongs by Andre Fabre, having lacked the raw pace to deal with the subsequent G3 Prix de Cabourg third Havana Cigar (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) at Chantilly a month ago. That is no surprise given that Baron Edouard De Rothschild's TDN Rising Star is a half-brother to the G2 Oppenheim-Union-Rennen winner Boscaccio (Ger) (Mount Nelson {GB}) and this potential confidence-booster against four fillies will hopefully see him reiterate what a class act he looked on debut over seven at Saint-Cloud in June.
