    • Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Friday's Observations features a daughter of a Group 1 winner. 5.15 Newmarket, Novice, £10,000, 2yo, f, 7fT QUADRILLION (GB) (Kingman {GB}) is the second foal out of Juddmonte's G1 Fillies' Mile heroine Quadrilateral (Frankel) and a key member of Harry Charlton's two-year-old crew. From the Hasili dynasty, the homebred encounters another potentially classy Kingman in Prince Faisal's Celestra (Fr), one of the Gosdens' armada who has the benefit of experience having been runner-up at Haydock on debut. 3.00 Newbury, Novice, £12,000, 2yo, 7fT MORBEH (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is one of the eye-catchers in a fascinating contest, being Shadwell's first foal out of their Group 3 winner and G1 Prix Vermeille runner-up Raabihah (Sea The Stars). Roger Varian introduces the newcomer in the race won in recent times by Chaldean, Reach For The Moon and Bayside Boy, with Godolphin's Ruler Of Time (Not This Time) another notable as a $700,000 Keeneland September purchase whose family features Monceaux Stable's bigwig Naissance Royale.

    • Leopardstown's opening mile maiden on Thursday has produced some important fillies of late and Kingman's Queen Of Hawaii could belong among them after taking the latest renewal with authority. Whether she will follow in the steps of the last three winners Opera Singer, Swelter and Caroline Street remains to be seen, but there was a lot to like about the way Philip Antonacci's half-sister to the dual Group-placed Up And Under (Lope De Vega) went about her business. “She had a lovely run the first day in a strong maiden and we thought she would enjoy going a mile,” trainer Joseph O'Brien said of the 100-30 shot. “I have her in here next week, but it's probably unlikely that she will come back here for the [G3] Silver Flash. We could go for the [G2] Debutante, as there aren't that many options at a mile for two-year-old fillies at the moment.” Sixth on debut in the Curragh maiden won by Ballydoyle's Composing last month, Queen Of Hawaii was more alert this time shadowing the leader Minerva (Frankel). Swamping that rival passing two out, she stayed on powerfully to score by 2 1/2 lengths with another 4 1/4 lengths back to Josh's Joy (Wootton Bassett), the newcomer named after Taylor Made's Josh Bryan.

    • A total of 190 horses have been catalogued for the Fasig-Tipton July Digital Sale, which is now open for bidding and will close Tuesday, July 22, beginning at 2 p.m. ET. The catalogue, featuring horses of racing age, breeding stock–including mares with foals at foot–one weanling and yearlings, may be viewed online at digital.fasigtipton.com. Nearly 60% of those catalogued are racing stock, with more than 100 horses of racing age and 2-year-old racing prospects.  These include five recent debut winning 2-year-olds. Among the featured offerings are hip 6, Fancy Love (Not For Love) from the consignment of Hartwell Farm, agent. The 13-year-old mare, offered in foal to Eclipse Award winner Arcangelo on a May 22 cover, is the dam of recent Bashford Manor Stakes hero Romeo (Honor A. P.), who sold for $1.7 million to top the Fasig-Tipton July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale on July 8. Produced by a half-sister to champion Midshipman (Unbridled's Song), GSW Fast Cookie (Deputy Minister)–the dam of GISW sire Frosted (Tapit)–and SW & GSP Regia Marina (Medaglia d'Oro), Fancy Rose is herself kin to SP Addison Run (Unbridled's Song), dam of MGISP Gouvernor Morris (Constitution) and MGSP Final Jeopardy (Street Sense). Fancy Rose sells with her Oscar Performance filly foaled Apr. 11. Taylor Made consigns hip 10, Lulu's Pom Pom (Pomeroy), to the July Digital Sale. The half-sister to the talented turf sprinter Disco Partner (Disco Rico) and SW Straight Arrow (Arrogate) is the dam of Lennilu (Leinster), winner of the Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies and a cracking third in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. Other potential highlights include:   Hip 1, Day and Age (Omaha Beach), perfect in two starts since switching to the turf, including a June 13 Santa Anita allowance for which he was awarded an 86 Beyer Speed Figure. He holds an entry for Friday's Oceanside Stakes at Del Mar;   Hip 15, Orderofthephoenix (Ire) (Phoenix of Spain {Ire}), a racing/broodmare prospect who won a six-furlong allowance/optional claimer over the Woodbine Tapeta June 3;   Spectacular Grey (Not This Time) (Hip 30), who drew off impressively to win her maiden at first asking by nearly eight lengths at Monmouth Park on July 12 (video), earning 'TDN Rising Star' honors.   “This is a phenomenal catalogue,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton Director of Digital Sales. “We have over 100 horses of racing age and racing prospects catalogued, eligible for a variety of conditions coast-to-coast as well as ship-and-win programs. “Not to be overlooked, however, is the strength of breeding stock on offer,” added Aaron. “Buyers do not need to wait until November to find collector quality breeding stock, as we have it on offer right now, including graded stakes producers and a sibling to a current undefeated 2-year-old.” The post Dams of Stakes-Winning Romeo, Lennilu Feature In Fasig-Tipton July Digital Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • In an effort to give young fans an “inside” look at the game, Del Mar launches 'Paddock Pals'–an up-close-and-personal session in the paddock on race days. Beginning Saturday, July 19, the program will see a Del Mar staff member randomly select a youngster and their family out of the crowd and accompany them into the paddock prior to certain races throughout the summer season. There the “Pal” will be in close proximity to the Thoroughbred racehorses as they are saddled up for their impending activity, listen in on chats between owners and trainers and interact with jockeys in their colorful silks as they prepare to mount up and ride. As the horses head out to the racetrack, the “Pal” will receive a final memento prior to heading back to their seat to watch 'their' race unfold–a set of official jockey goggles. “Lots of racing fans will tell you that they first learned to love the game in their youth when they went racing with their parents, family or friends,” said Del Mar's president Josh Rubinstein. “We want kids throughout the summer to not only enjoy the general experience at Del Mar, but also have a unique encounter that they can carry forward forever.” Rubinstein credits Aron Wellman, the head of the highly successful ownership group Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, with triggering the idea. Del Mar's 31-day meet continues through Sunday, September 7.
