Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 6 Journalists Share Posted April 6 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. Monday's Observations features a notable newcomer for the Gosdens. 5.25 Kempton, Mdn, £8,000, 3yo/up, 8f (AWT) ERNST BLOFELD (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is a notable newcomer for John and Thady Gosden at a track at which they have introduced some smart types, being White Birch Farm's homebred son of the GII Ballston Spa and GII Canadian Stakes winner and multiple grade I-placed Quidura (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). He has a potentially smart yardstick to aim at in Rabbah Racing's Southwell runner-up Dixieland Blues (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), a Simon and Ed Crisford-trained half-brother to the yard's dual group 2 scorer Jadoomi (Fr) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}). 6.00 Kempton, Mdn, £8,000, 3yo/up, 8f (AWT) MISTER RIZZ (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) debuts for TBT Racing, having needed time to mature for Ed Walker after his 425,000gns purchase at the 2023 Tattersalls October Book 1 Sale. The first foal of the G2 Ribblesdale Stakes winner and Oaks third Frankly Darling (GB) (Frankel {GB}), he encounters another newcomer in Sheikh Rashid Dalmook Al Maktoum's Arabian Force (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), a William Haggas-trained relative of the high-class Rizeena (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) and Summer Romance (Ire) (Kingman {GB}).
