Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Tuesday's Observations features the Goffs Orby Book 1 topper for her debut.

MINNIE HAUK (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) made a splash at last year's Goffs Orby Book 1 when topping the charts when selling to M V Magnier for €1.85million and makes her keenly-anticipated debut for Aidan O'Brien in the maiden won last year by the subsequent Oaks heroine Ezeliya (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}). She is out of the Juddmonte mare Multilingual (GB) (Dansili {GB}), a half-sister to the operation's luminary Kingman (GB) and full-sister to the G3 Hampton Court Stakes winner Remote (GB) and could easily be the type add to eventually the stable's remarkable haul of black-type wins with their juvenile fillies so far this term. She is joined by the stable's similarly-unraced Win Me Over (Ire) (Kingman {GB}), a full-sister to the mile supremo Palace Pier (GB).
