Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 28, 2019 Journalists Share Posted April 28, 2019 Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Monday’s Insights features a daughter of an G1 Epsom Oaks heroine. 4.40 Naas, Mdn, €16,500, 2yo, 6fTSO WONDERFUL (War Front) is one of two Ballydoyle runners engaged in this maiden won in the last two years by Fairyland (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) and Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), so unless there is a dead-heat will mean that the stable’s 100% record with their juveniles ends here. This February-foaled bay is a daughter of the G1 Epsom Oaks runner-up Wonder of Wonders (Kingmambo) and a full-sister to the smart 3-year-old stablemate Antilles connected to recent TDN Rising Star Sir Dragonet (Ire) (Camelot {GB}). Joining her is Flower Garland (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), while they face a Juddmonte newcomer of note in the Dermot Weld-trained Peace Charter (GB) (War Front) who is a daughter of the four-time grade I winner Emollient (Empire Maker). 5.15 Naas, Mdn, €12,500, 3yo/up, 6fTTIME TUNNEL (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) is a daughter of the G1 Falmouth S. heroine Timepiece (GB) (Zamindar) who debuts for Khalid Abdullah and Dermot Weld over a trip possibly short of her optimum. Despite being by a speed influence, the majority of this family are middle-distance performers including the dam’s half-sister Passage of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}) who took the 10-furlong G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud as a juvenile.
