Tuesday Returns at Naas

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. Sunday's Observations features a full-sister to MG1SW Minding (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).

5.00 Naas, Mdn, €15,000, 3yo, f, 8fT
TUESDAY (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is arguably the most high-profile maiden in Europe as a full-sister to Minding (Ire) and Empress Josephine (Ire) who shaped with so much promise on her sole start when narrowly denied by the subsequent G1 Moyglare Stud S. winner Discoveries (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) at The Curragh in June. Pointed by Aidan O'Brien to the same maiden that Empress Josephine captured 12 months ago en route to Irish 1000 Guineas glory, the daughter of Lillie Langtry (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) will start at cramped odds in a field containing the intriguing Niarchos newcomer Verlinga (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), a Jessie Harrington-trained daughter of the dual group winner Bocca Baciata (Ire) (Big Bad Bob {Ire}).

How They Fared…
1.25 The Curragh, Mdn, €17,000, 2yo, 5fT
FINSCEAL GO DEO (IRE) (Kingman {GB}), the daughter of Finsceal Beo (Ire) (Mr. Greeley), was always in the firing line and was tiring out of contention when bumped by the eventual winner inside the final furlong out. Not given a hard time afterwards, she finished fourth.

4.10 Doncaster, Mdn, £7,300, 3yo, 10f 43yT
ALMUHIT (IRE) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), the full-brother to Taghrooda (GB), ran green throughout and although well-beaten in fourth showed promise.

Earthlight’s Sister Debuts at Wolves

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 Observations features a full-sister to dual juvenile Group 1 winner Earthlight (Ire) (Shamardal).

5.00 Southwell, Novice, £7,300, 3yo, 8f 13y (AWT)
SHARP FRANK (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is an intriguing newcomer for his owner-breeders Cayton Park Stud, being a son of the GII Lake Placid S. winner and GI Garden City S.-placed Sharp Susan (Touch Gold), who was a $2-million purchase at the 2008 Fasig-Tipton Select November Mixed Sale. Andrew Balding has charge of the March-foaled half-brother to the multiple South African Group 1 winner Oh Susanna (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) and dual Group 1-placed Signore Fox (Aus) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}).
7.30 Wolverhampton, Novice, £8,700, 3yo/up, f/m, 7f 36y (AWT)
CALLISTO MOON (GB) (Shamardal) is the third foal out of the G1 Fillies' Mile third Winters Moon (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}), with the first being Shamardal's surprisingly speedy Earthlight (Ire) who captured the G1 Prix Morny and G1 Middle Park S. Charlie Appleby introduces the March-foaled chestnut against some experienced peers, but she will be feared from a stable whose strike-rate on the all-weather speaks for itself.
