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 a trio of sale toppers.

1.35 Navan, Mdn, €15,000, 2yo, 5f 164yT
WESTERN FRONTIER (Scat Daddy) was the sale-topper at €825,000 at the Arqana May Breeze-Up Sale, ahead of other high-priced lots Kadar (Scat Daddy) and Fashion’s Star (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), both of whom have scored on their respective debuts in recent weeks. Aidan O’Brien has charge of the half-brother to the GII Futurity S. runner-up Carried Interest (Henny Hughes), whose rivals include the similarly-unraced colt Good Answer (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), Malih Al Basti’s half-brother to the Group 1-winning sprinter Krypton Factor (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}) who represents the Joseph O’Brien stable.

4.15 Newmarket, Mdn, £10,000, 2yo, f, 7fT
MAQSAD (FR) (Siyouni {Fr}) debuts in the Shadwell silks for William Haggas, having topped the 2016 Goffs November Foal Sale at €775,000. Part of the Wildenstein dispersal, the granddaughter of the high-class Aquarelliste (Fr) (Danehill) meets another newcomer in Lady Bamford’s Richard Hannon-trained Truly Adored (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}), last year’s Arqana Deauville October Yearling Sale topper at €500,000 who is out of an unraced sister to the Wertheimer black-type winner Flash Dance (Ire) (Zamindar).
