Daughter Of Dank Debuts At Salisbury

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 daughter of Breeders' Cup heroine Dank (GB) (Dansili {GB}).

2.50 Salisbury, Mdn, £24,000, 2yo, f, 6f 213yT
DOOM (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the fourth foal out of the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf and GI Beverly D. S. heroine Dank (GB) (Dansili {GB}), who is also a half to the top-level scorers Eagle Mountain (GB) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) and Sulk (Ire) (Selkirk). James Wigan's April-foaled homebred debuts for the William Haggas stable in this valuable Bob McCreery Memorial British EBF Quidhampton Maiden Fillies' S. which has a habit of playing host to future pattern-race winners.

 

3.10 Haydock, Novice, £10,000, 2yo, c/g, 7f 212yT
CASTLE WAY (GB) (Almanzor {Fr}) shaped with abundant promise when second in a Newmarket maiden last month and is arguably the one to take out of that race which has hosted Motivator (GB), Frankel (GB), Roaring Lion and Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the past. Godolphin's Charlie Appleby-trained 425,000gns Book 1 graduate and half-brother to the high-class multiple Group 1-winning Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) encounters a William Haggas-trained newcomer in Garden Route (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a son of the G1 S A Nursery winner Cloth Of Cloud (SAf) (Captain Al {SAf}) from the family of Artie Schiller (El Prado {Ire}) who represents Magnier/Shanahan/Nagle/Kantor.

Stepping out in the Qatar Racing silks who own 50% in partnership with Ecurie Des Monceaux, the Andre Fabre-trained chestnut encounters a pair of Wertheimer newcomers in the Carlos Laffon-Parias-trained Carvana (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), a half-sister to the G1 Prix Saint-Alary heroine Queen's Jewel (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), and Kovattack (Fr) (War Front), a Christophe Ferland-trained daughter of the G1 Prix Vermeille winner Galikova (Fr) (Galileo {Ire}).

Sea The Stars’ Flying Honours Impresses Again

Lighting up Salisbury on Friday evening, Godolphin's TDN Rising Star Flying Honours (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) dominated the Listed Longines Irish Champions Weekend 10-11 September EBF Stonehenge S. as he had his July 27 Sandown novice to suggest he will be a leading light for next year's Derby. Always travelling comfortably under James Doyle taking a lead, the 4-11 favourite was allowed to cruise to Stormbuster (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and when let loose quickly overwhelmed that rival with over a furlong remaining en route to a 5 1/2-length success.

“He was very impressive,” his rider said. “They went a really good pace and this stiff finish definitely suited him. He travelled much smoother today and I was hoping they would take me a bit further to teach him a bit more, but this was a nice stepping stone for him and he's crossed another bridge. He doesn't ride overly-big–he's very compact and well put-together and is learning all the time. I don't think this was the strongest of listed races, so he's going to have to keep on improving.”

 

Fourth on debut in the seven-furlong Newmarket July Festival maiden won by TDN Rising Star Epictetus (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) and a place behind the day's Convivial Maiden-winning stablemate Desert Order (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) July 8, Flying Honours had romped to a 9 1/2-length success over that trip at Sandown last time and this was another visually impressive display as he bids to establish himself in the yard's pecking order.

The dam Powder Snow (Dubawi {Ire}) started out with this stable before joining Henri-Alex Pantall and winning the G3 Prix Fille de l'Air and a listed prize in Germany. She is a half-sister to the Listed Woodcote S. third Sea Of Snow (Distorted Humor) and to the G2 Diana-Trial and G3 Grosser Preis der Mehl-Mulhens-Stiftung-placed Snow (Ger) by Sea The Stars' Sea The Moon (Ger). The third dam is Snow Bride (Blushing Groom {Fr}), the G3 Princess Royal S. and G3 Musidora S. winner who was awarded the Oaks in 1989 on the disqualification of Aliysa (GB) (Darshaan {GB}) and later produced the Derby, King George and Arc hero Lammtarra (Nijinsky II). Powder Snow's first foal is the winning 3-year-old full-sister to the winner Snow Tempest (Ire), while her yearling filly is by Siyouni (Fr) and she also has a colt foal by Invincible Spirit (Ire).
