Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 27, 2020 Journalists Share Posted October 27, 2020 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. Today’s Observations features an expensive son of Kingman (GB). 5.30 Dundalk, Mdn, €14,000, 2yo, 7f (AWT) Coolmore’s BLUE PLANET (GB) (Kingman {GB}) became the fifth-highest priced lot when knocked down for 1.8-million guineas at last year’s Tattersalls October Book 1 fixture and the April-foaled bay is handed a low-key introduction at this floodlit Co.
