Son Of Speedy Boarding Debuts

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. Today’s Observations features the first foal of a Group 1-winning mare.

1.05 Newbury, Novice, £6,400, 2yo, 7fT
LEGEND OF DUBAI (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) was a 500,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum and is the first foal out of the G1 Prix Jean Romanet and G1 Prix de l’Opera heroine Speedy Boarding (GB) (Shamardal). Roger Varian introduces the March-foaled bay in an intriguing maiden featuring several prospective Classic types including Qatar Racing’s Rushmore (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}), another 500,000gns Book 1 buy who is an Andrew Balding-trained half-brother to the GII Glens Falls S. winner Mrs Sippy (Blame), and Juddmonte’s fellow newcomer Maximal (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, he is a half-brother to last year’s G1 Coronation S. third Jubiloso (GB) (Shamardal) from the family of Frankel (GB).

4.15 Curragh, Mdn, €17,000, 2yo, 7fT
WEMBLEY (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) takes centre stage in this maiden that Aidan O’Brien has won six times in the last nine years, including with Australia (GB) in 2013. A full-brother to the G1 Criterium International winner Johannes Vermeer (Ire) and last year’s G2 Debutante S. runner-up Petite Mustique (Ire), the January-foaled bay caught the eye when finishing third in a course-and-distance maiden on June 28. He is joined by the stable’s newcomer HMS Seahorse (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a full-brother to last year’s G2 Futurity S. winner Armory (Ire).

Hesmonds To Sell Yearling Farm

Hesmonds Stud has listed for sale its yearling preparation base Tourles Farm at East Hoathly, near Lewes in East Sussex.

The 114-acre farm has been the subject of significant investment as of late, and the facilities include a yearling preparation centre, a four furlong gallop, a 20 metre by 40 metre schooling ring, lunge ring, 25-box barn and a three bedroom cottage.

Hesmonds Studs was purchased in 2010 by Nurlan Bizakov, who has made substantial investments in the property and also purchased Monfort et Preaux in Normandy, France last year.

Windsor Clive International is handling the sale, and that firm’s William Harford said, “Tourles Farm is one of the best presented farms we have offered in recent years. It’s extensive range of facilities dictate that Tourles will attract interest from every quarter of the professional, equine world.”

English King “Really Well”; Future Undecided

Trainer Ed Walker said Bjorn Nielsen’s Listed Lingfield Derby Trial winner English King (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) is “really well” two weeks after running fifth as the favourite in the G1 Investec Derby, but that no future plans have been decided.

“He’s recovered from Epsom and put the weight back on that he lost–we’re very happy with him,” the trainer said. “There is no great plan at the moment, that’s for sure. We’re just mulling things over and we’ll see what we come up with. The main thing is the horse is absolutely fine and hopefully there’s still a lot to look forward to.”
