Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 22 Journalists Posted May 22 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. Friday's Observations features a son of Too Darn Hot. 3.35 Haydock, Novice, £10,000, 2yo, 6f 212yT WILD DESERT (IRE) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) is the latest in a glut of significant Godolphin newcomers to step out of the Charlie Appleby stable this week, being the sixth foal out of the operation's prized mare Winters Moon. Remarkably, two of those she has produced so far are the G1 Middle Park Stakes winners Shadow Of Light and Earthlight, with both successful twice at the top level at two, so all eyes will be on this colt's progress this summer. Fitri Hay's similarly unraced Last Verse (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) is a key rival, being an Andrew Balding-trained half-brother to Galileo's multiple Group winner Armory. 2.15 Bath, Novice, £6,800, 2yo, 5f 10yT FORTIFICATION (GB) (Mehmas {Ire}) debuts for Wathnan Racing and the Archie Watson stable in the race won 12 months ago by their subsequent G2 Flying Childers Stakes and G3 Prix d'Arenberg winner Aesterius also by this sire. A £350,000 Goffs UK Breeze Up purchase, he is out of a Listed scorer who was also dual Group-placed and hails from the family of Windsor Knot.
