Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 6, 2024 Journalists Share Posted December 6, 2024 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 a relative of Carl Spackler (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). 17.30 Wolverhampton, Nov, £6,300, 2yo, 9f 104y (AWT) Jaber Abdullah's hitherto unraced ZABEEL RAIN (FR) (Masar {Ire}), a 55,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase, is a half-sister to four stakes performers headed by GI Jamaica Handicap-winning sire Western Aristocrat (Mr. Greeley) and GII Goldikova Stakes victrix Zindaya (More Than Ready). Zindaya, in turn, is the dam of this year's dual Grade I winner and 'TDN Rising Star' Carl Spackler (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) and G3 Prix des Reservoirs runner-up and 'TDN Rising Star' Sandtrap (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). The Charlie Johnston nominee, one of just two fillies in a 12-strong field, encounters Flaxman Stables Ireland's homebred once-raced winner Edge Ofthe Unknown (Quality Road), who is a George Boughey-conditioned grandson of multiple Group 1-winning dual European champion and 'TDN Rising Star' Divine Proportions (Kingmambo); and Ollie Sangster's Kentucky River (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), who is a half-brother to G1 Melbourne Cup and G1 Grosser Preis von Berlin-winning sire Protectionist (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) coming back off a debut fifth over 10 furlongs at Chelmsford last month.
