Join the dots - if mug punters don't lose then @Brodie doesn't win big or at all.

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. Saturday's Observations features an exciting newcomer in the Juddmonte silks. 12.50 Doncaster, £22,000, Nov, 2yo, 6f 2yT Juddmonte's LEONETTO (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is a half-brother to G1 Nassau Stakes heroine Lady Bowthorpe (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) and multiple Group-winning G1 Prix de la Foret third Speak In Colours (GB) Excelebration {Ire}). The Harry Charlton trainee's rivals include Highclere Thoroughbred Racing's fellow debutant Angel Gabriel (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), who is a son of G1 Falmouth Stakes heroine Nahoodh (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}) and thus a half-brother to last year's G2 Hochi Hai Fillies' Revue victrix Etes Vous Prets (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}). 16.30 Wolverhampton, £6,300, Nov, 2yo, 8f 142y (AWT) Yuesheng Zhang's DIRECTOR'S CUT (IRE) (Palace Pier {GB}), one of the owner's two newcomers representing the John and Thady Gosden yard, is kin to G1 Northerly Stakes and G1 Australian Cup hero Light Infantry Man (Fr) (Fast Company {Ire}).

Well he could be the first since the policy was introduced May 2023.  All the same most Jockeys who have had an accident of enough severity to cause concussion ot would be the least of their injuries.

After being a scratch by track veterinarians from the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Tamara (Bolt d'Oro) is back at Santa Anita Park undergoing tests to determine a possible cause. Both Tamara and Sweet Azteca (Sharp Azteca) were scratched the morning of the Filly & Mare Sprint, later won by Splendora (Audible), and were figured to be two of the favorites in the race. At the time of the scratch, no reason had been provided for either horse. Now back in the home base of trainer Richard Mandella, Tamara underwent a PET scan as well as X-Rays, and her connections report that results should be known in a couple of days. Mandella said that she appears fine to them. When asked about running at Del Mar if she's okay, the conditioner replied, “I don't know. We're going to kick some ideas around.” The post Tamara Undergoing Tests After Breeders’ Cup Scratch appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
