Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 13, 2018 Journalists Share Posted September 13, 2018 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 one of King Power’s high-priced yearling purchases of 2017. 4.00 Salisbury, Cond, £7,400, 2yo, c/g, 6fTJASH (IRE) (Kodiac {GB}) bids to build on an impressive 4 1/2-length debut success at Newmarket last month with a potential G1 Middle Park S. bid in the offing. Simon Crisford has opted to give Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s 185,000gns purchase more experience and he joins King Power Racing’s Andrew Balding-trained 625,000gns TATOCT graduate Happy Power (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) in shouldering a six-pound penalty. 4.40 Doncaster, Cond, £15,000, 2yo, 7f 6yTTURGENEV (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the first foal out of Godolphin’s ultra-consistent triple group winner Tasaday (Nayef) who debuts for Princess Haya of Jordan and John Gosden in a potentially informative Town Moor contest. Among his rivals is the similarly unraced colt Monsieur Noir (GB) (Shamardal), a 500,000gns TATOCT half-brother to the classy duo of Bonfire (GB) (Manduro {Ger}) and Joviality (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) who represents the Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum-Roger Varian axis.
