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. Tuesday's Insights features a daughter of G1SW Romantica (GB).
15.35 Deauville, Debutantes, €27,000, 2yo, f, 7 1/2f (AWT)
AMBOISE (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) takes the eye on debut, being a daughter of the track's G1 Prix Jean Romanet heroine Romantica (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) who was in turn a daughter of the luminary Banks Hill (GB) (Danehill). As in the case of the dam and second dam, Andre Fabre has charge of Juddmonte's April-foaled bay whose opponents include George Strawbridge's Reasonable (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a Freddy Head-trained daughter of his high-class producer In Clover (GB) (Inchinor {GB}), responsible for Dansili's With You (GB) and We Are (Ire) and a third group 1 winner in Call The Wind (GB) (Frankel {GB}).
HOW THEY FARED
