Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Monday at 10:05 PM Journalists Share Posted Monday at 10:05 PM 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. Tuesday's Observations features a half-brother to a Classic heroine. 2.45 Yarmouth, Novice, £9,950, 2yo, 7f 3y (SWT) SALLAAL (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is a significant newcomer at a track his trainer Roger Varian has used for several of his better prospects, being a half-brother to this year's G1 1,000 Guineas heroine Elmalka (GB) (Kingman {GB}) and the multiple group 1-winning globetrotter Benbatl (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). Among the rivals of Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's homebred is Wicked (Fr) (Kingman {GB}), Wathnan Racing's half-brother to the Classic-winning duo St Mark's Basilica (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) and Magna Grecia (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) from the John and Thady Gosden stable. 6.00 Newcastle, Novice, £6,300, 2yo, c/g, 7f 14y (AWT) WAR HAWK (IRE) (Mehmas {Ire}) is a full-brother to the GI Del Mar Oaks and multiple grade II winner Going Global (Ire) and half to the dual group scorer Mitbaahy (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}) who represents Rabbah Racing having cost 180,000gns at Tattersalls October Book 1. Simon and Ed Crisford have charge of the newcomer, whose rivals include Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's similarly-unraced Archie Watson trainee L'Karama (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), another who cost that amount at that auction and who is a half-brother to the dual group winner Greenland (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}).
