Wednesday's Observations: Dubawi's 1.25M Arqana August Graduate Debuts at Kempton

Silver Peak as a yearling | Arqana

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. Wednesday's Observations features a 1.2 million euro Arqana August graduate Silver Peak (Dubawi).

 

17.50 Kempton, Novice, £9,900, 2yo, 7fT
SILVER PEAK (FR) (Dubawi {Ire}) was the second-highest-priced colt at Arqana Deauville August when selling to Godolphin for €1.25million and Charlie Appleby deems it time to unveil him at a track that he favours for his better types. Out of a half to Kingman's triple group 1-winning Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero and sire Persian King (Ire), he encounters Juddmonte's fellow newcomer Detain (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), a John and Thady Gosden-trained half-brother to the stable's dual group winner Arrest (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) who broke his maiden here two years ago.

 

HOW THEY FARED
14.58 Deauville, Mdn, €30,000, 2yo, c/g, 6fT
Repole Stable's 280,000gns Craven Breeze-Up acquisition Benny The Waiter (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), a half-brother to this term's G2 King Edward VII Stakes runner-up and Wednesday's G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes nominee Space Legend (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), was without cover throughout this heavy-ground debut and ran on in the closing stages to finish sixth.

 

18.30 Wolverhampton, Mdn, £6,300, 2yo, f, 7f 36y (AWT)
Enclosure (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}), the daughter of the G1 Matron Stakes heroine Echelon (GB) (Danehill) and half-sister to the G1 Falmouth Stakes and G1 Sun Chariot Stakes winner Integral (GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}), never threatened and finished sixth.
