Deneuve Takes The Eye In “Alpha Centauri” Maiden

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. Monday's Observations features a daughter of MGSW & G1SP Actress (Ire) (Declaration of War).

4.45 Naas, Mdn, €16,000, 2yo, f, 5f 205yT
DENEUVE (IRE) (No Nay Never) debuts in the maiden won in recent times by the subsequent Group 1 winners Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) and Fairyland (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) and is the first foal out of the dual group 3 scorer and G1 Phoenix S. third Actress (Ire) (Declaration of War). Coincidentally runner-up in this to Alpha Centauri in 2017, her May-foaled daughter represents the same Ballydoyle stable whose two recent winners earned 'TDN Rising Star' status.

6.45 Naas, Mdn, €12,500, 3yo, f, 10fT
CHAMPAGNE (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) makes her debut for Ballydoyle in Susan Magnier's pink second-string silks, but is as significant a blueblood as has been seen so far in 2022 as a daughter of the famed Red Evie (Ire) (Intikhab). The June-foaled full-sister to Found (Ire) and Best In the World (Ire) encounters another newcomer of note in Vimal Khosla's Fennela (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), a Jessie Harrington-trained half-sister to Lord Shanakill (Speightstown) and Galileo's Forever Together (Ire) and Together Forever (Ire).

Lord Lloyd Webber's untried DARMOISELLE (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is a daughter of MG1SW distaffer Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) and thus a homebred full-sister to MG1SW sire Too Darn Hot (GB), MG1SP G2 Middleton S. victrix Lah Ti Dar (GB) and stakes-winning G1 Prix de l'Opera third So Mi Dar (GB).

Crystal Estrella and Crystal Hope are out of a half-sister to ultra-consistent G1 Prince of Wales's S.-winning sire Crystal Ocean (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).
