[Wandering Eyes]

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. Thursday's Observations features a pricy son of Into Mischief.

 

3.25 Dundalk, Mdn, €18,000, 2yo, 8f (AWT)
BERNARD SHAW (Into Mischief) bids to build on his highly encouraging debut fourth under John Velazquez in The Curragh's Barronstown Stud Maiden in June in this race won in the last two years by Ballydoyle's classy pair Adelaide River (Ire) (Australia {GB}) and Capulet (Justify). The $1.8-million Keeneland September graduate, who is a son of the GII Canadian Stakes winner Princess Haya (Street Cry {Ire}), could yet develop into one of Aidan O'Brien's leading 2-year-old colts.

 

13.58 Deauville, Debutantes, €160,000, 2yo, f, 7fT
BOGOTA (IRE) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) is one of the more intriguing types in the line-up for this valuable Arqana Series Des Pouliches, being out of a full-sister to War Front's G1 Dewhurst Stakes-winning sire Air Force Blue. Owned by Infinity Nine Horses and Ecurie des Monceaux, the Christophe Ferland trainee encounters Bobby Flay's Champagne Dancer (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), a half-sister to three stakes performers including last year's Listed Prix Coronation winner Quickstep (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}).

 

14.33 Deauville, Debutantes, €160,000, 2yo, c/g, 7fT
MARANOA CHARLIE (FR) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) takes part in this Arqana Series Des Poulains and is a key member, being out of a half-sister to the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Tiggy Wiggy (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}). The €220,000 Arqana Deauville August graduate races for Peter Maher, Carl Fitzgerald and John Baxter and is saddled by Christopher Head as he faces 10 for his big pot.
