Brother to Zabeel Prince Steps on to the Tapeta

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. Tuesday's Observations features a half-brother to Group 1 winner Zabeel Prince (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}).

7.0 Southwell, Novice, £6,800, 2yo, 7f 14y (AWT)
TEUMESSIAS FOX (IRE) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) is the 10th foal out of Princess Serena (Unbridled's Song), who has produced the G1 Prix d'Ispahan hero Zabeel Prince (Ire) by this sire, as well as the multiple Group 1-placed Puissance de Lune (Ire) (Shamardal) and her G2 Middleton S.-winning full-sister Queen Power (Ire). Like the latter, the April-foaled chestnut carries the King Power Racing silks with Andrew Balding committing him to the newly-laid Tapeta where he encounters Juddmonte's 310,000gns purchase from the Tattersalls October Book 2 Sale, the John and Thady Gosden-trained fellow newcomer Nazca (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), a grandson of the G1 Irish Oaks heroine Pure Grain (GB) (Polish Precedent).

ARC Confirms Prizemoney Plans Through April

The prizemoney investment plans for the Arena Racing Company's Programme Book One 2022, which runs from January through April, were confirmed on Thursday. These initiatives are part of ARC's £21.7 million 2022 prizemoney investment plan. The All-Weather Championships will be held at Newcastle for the first time, as previously announced, and Flat racing will return to Southwell with a new Tapeta surface. The £40,000 Coral Winter Oaks Trial will be held at that course on Dec. 7. There will also be Flat Class 5 and 6 bonuses to the winning connections of £2,500 and the yard will earn £150 through January, February and March at all all-weather meetings. The Jumps programme will be boosted with a minimum of £75,000 in total prizemoney per card on all ARC fixtures run in January, February and March. The full programme for the Winter Million fixture is available here.

Managing Director of ARC's Racing Division, Mark Spincer, said, “We are pleased to confirm our specific prize money investment plans for programme book one 2022 as part of the overall announcements that we made in October.

“Our flat programme throughout this time will continue to run above minimum values, and we very much look forward to introducing the new bonus for Class 5 and 6 divided races from January, alongside free entry for flat owners during February and March. Equally, we hope that the reshaping of Good Friday, with the All-Weather Vase fixture at Lingfield Park, will give more horses an end of season target, and an excellent day out for connections.”
