Brussels Takes Aim At Valuable Donny Prize

[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. Thursday's Observations features the return of a Wootton Bassett 'TDN Rising Star'.

1.50 Doncaster, Cond, 2yo, 6f 111yT
BRUSSELS (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) takes a class drop for this Weatherbys Scientific £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes in which stablemate Camille Pissarro managed to get beaten 12 months ago before going to win two Group 1s including a Classic. Not one of Ballydoyle's best at present, having been fourth in the July at Newmarket and second in the Listed Churchill Stakes since earning TDN Rising Star status on debut, he has time on his side but this won't be easy given the presence of the Harry's Half Million winner Song Of The Clyde (GB) (Sergei Prokofiev), the G3 Prix de Cabourg winner Tadej (GB) (Ardad {Ire}) and Jel Pepper (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}) who was a place ahead of him in the July.
