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 the highly anticipated debut of Frankel's full-sister.
4.10 Sandown, Novice, £8,050, 3yo, f, 9f 209yT
CHIASMA (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is the seventh foal out of Kind (Ire) (Danehill), making her a full-sister to the remarkable Frankel (GB) and to his G1 Champion S.-winning sibling Noble Mission (GB), as well as a half to the smart duo Bullet Train (GB) (Sadler's Wells) and Joyeuse (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). Reportedly shaping as a true middle-distance type at John and Thady Gosden's Clarehaven Stables, the February-foaled bay has the guidance of Frankie Dettori as she encounters Godolphin's Lingfield novice winner Nash Nasha (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a Charlie Appleby-trained daughter of the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Just the Judge (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) who cost €1-million as a foal at the 2018 Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale. This is a race which John Gosden has targeted with some of his better fillies in recent times, with Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) a 'TDN Rising Star' for the trainer in 2008.
