Delphine succeeds Fabrice Favetto Bon, whom I would like to thank warmly.”

Foret Hat Trick the Aim for One Master

MG1SW One Master (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), who won the 2018 and 2019 editions of the G1 Prix de la Foret on Arc Day, is on course for a third attempt, trainer William Haggas revealed. A winner of the G3 Oak Tree S. at Goodwood this July, the Lael Stables homebred has been runner-up in her past two starts-the G2 City of York S. on Aug. 22 and the Sept. 12 G2 Park S. at Doncaster last out.

Haggas said, “She ran very well. She’s just been unfortunate, but that’s the way it goes. She’s come out of the race fine and that [Foret] is the plan.”

Another Haggas trainee, the Cheveley Park Stud homebred Sacred (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) is pointing to the G1 Cheveley Park S. at Newmarket on Sept. 26. The daughter of Sacre Caroline (Blame) has been runner up in a trio of Group 2s after breaking her maiden at first asking on June 4-the June 20 Queen Mary S., Aug. 20 Lowther S., and Sept. 11 Bombardier Flying Childers S.

“Sacred was unfortunate as we had to go a bit earlier than we’d planned to beforehand as the race was happening away from her,” added Haggas. “She’ll go for the Cheveley Park S. next.”

Son of Nereid Steps Out at Sandown

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 Insights features a son of GISW Nereid (Rock Hard Ten).

2.50 Sandown, Novice, £8,000, 2yo, 8fT
CASTLEBAR (IRE) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) at €460,000 was one of last year’s leading lights at the Goffs Orby and he has joined Charlie Appleby’s Godolphin ranks. From the family of the G1 Golden Jubilee S. hero Malhub (Kingmambo), the February-foal bay meets Qatar Racing’s €400,000 Arqana October graduate Marine (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), an Andrew Balding-trained colt whose dam is a half to Danedream (Ger) (Lomitas {GB}).

3.25 Sandown, Novice, £10,000, 2yo, 7fT
EBNZAIDOON (Speightstown) is a $825,000 Keeneland September graduate who represents the John Gosden stable successful in this 12 months ago with Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}). Shadwell’s May-foaled chestnut, who is a son of the GI American Oaks dead-heater Nereid (Rock Hard Ten), encounters seven rivals on this debut.

Telecaster Camp Eyes Arc Bid

Castle Down Racing’s Telecaster (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), who won the G3 La Coupe on June 25 and the G2 Grand Prix de Deauville two starts later on Aug. 30, is a potential contender for the G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, trainer Hughie Morrison announced on Tuesday. The 4-year-old colt also won the G2 Dante S. last term.

“It’s definitely a possibility that he could go,” said Morrison. “Nothing really sprang out of the trials to put us off. The filly who won the [G1 Prix] Vermeille [Tarnawa (Ire) (Shamardal)] was impressive, but connections said afterwards that was her day. On quick ground the Vermeille was run three or four lengths quicker than the Foy. You might not be able to take that literally, but given all the results I think we have a right to be there.

“It was heavy when we won at Deauville so if it was soft that would be in our favour, I think–we wouldn’t want it quick, but hopefully at that time of year it wouldn’t be anyway.

“It all seemed to click last time, he seems to have taken the race very well. We’re realistic, but the owner quite rightly feels finishing third in the Arc might be viewed better than a Group 1 anywhere else in the world at this time of yea–bar the [Oct. 17 G1] Champion S.”
