Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 24 Journalists Share Posted March 24 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 pair of 'TDN Rising Stars' returning from long absences. 2.30 Saint-Cloud, Cond, €28,000, 3yo, c/g, 8fT GUN OF BRIXTON (FR) (Frankel {GB}) was one of the 2024 cast of TDN Rising Stars after his win at Clairefontaine in July and so this first subsequent outing will be the subject of close attention. Haras Voltaire's homebred who is out of a half to Harzand (Ire) reappears early enough for Andre Fabre to ascertain whether he is Classic material and he faces seven in this Prix Comrade which played host to the smart Erevann (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}) in 2022. 4.15 Saint-Cloud, Cond, €28,000, 3yo, f, 8fT ULTRAFRAGOLA (IRE) (Sottsass {Fr}) is another long-absent TDN Rising Star to be reintroduced on this card, with her striking debut win at Deauville in July the only evidence of her prowess to date. Jean-Claude Rouget pits the White Birch Farm homebred daughter of the multiple graded-stakes scorer Toinette (Scat Daddy) against nine other Classic wannabes including another daughter of Sottsass in the David Layani colour-bearer Safia (Fr), a Fabrice Chappet-trained descendant of Sophisticat (Storm Cat) and Serena's Song (Rahy) who was an impressive winner on her sole start at ParisLongchamp in October.
