Lambourn’s Frankel Half-Brother Action Springs To It At The Curragh

[Wandering Eyes]

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 an offspring of Gossamer Wings.

1.30 Curragh, Mdn, €20,000, 2yo, c/g, 7fT
ACTION (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is the third foal out of the G2 Queen Mary runner-up Gossamer Wings (Scat Daddy), whose second is the current Derby and Irish Derby hero Lambourn by Galileo's Australia. Wayne Lordan is on board the newcomer, with Ryan Moore on the stable's other Frankel colt, New Zealand, perhaps remembering how lethargic Action's half-sibling was in 2024. This son of the Albany winner and dual Group 1-placed Different League (Dabirsim) was one of the yard's selected for the ever-important course-and-distance Barronstown Stud Maiden, which as you would expect has already been boosted.

 

4.10 Newbury, Novice, £40,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 10fT
GOLD PENNY (GB) (Cracksman {GB}) is the 11th foal out of Godolphin's illustrious broodmare Gonbarda (Lando), with the dual Group 1 winner responsible for Pivotal's heavyweight Farhh and fellow top-level performer Racing History. With John and Thady Gosden, the homebred is the sole newcomer meeting four previous winners and the triple-placed stablemate Glistening (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Juddmonte's daughter of the G2 Sapphire Stakes winner Soffia (Kyllachy).
