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 half to a Classic-placed filly.

HOWTH (IRE) (Churchill {Ire}), who hails from a Ballydoyle stable with a potent strike-rate in the juvenile department with six individual winners so far in 2021, is a stand-out on pedigree as a half-brother to the G2 Blandford S. and G3 Flame of Tara S. winner and G1 Pretty Polly S. and G1 Irish Oaks runner-up Cayenne Pepper (Ire) (Australia {GB}). The February-foaled bay meets another son of Coolmore's first-season sire in the Donnacha O'Brien-trained Unconquerable (Ire), Atlantic Thoroughbreds's unraced 210,000gns Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate whose dam is a half to the G1 Epsom Derby hero North Light (Ire) (Danehill).
