Godolphin Takes The Wraps Off First Juveniles

Charlie Appleby sends out Godolphin's first 2-year-olds of the season | Racing Post

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 first juvenile runners of the season for Godolphin.

2.25 Newmarket, Mdn, £5,400, 2yo, 6fT
MAGICAL LAND (IRE) (Frankel%20(GB)#tot">Frankel {GB}) is the first Godolphin juvenile runner of 2020 from the Charlie Appleby stable and is due to start favourite with the G2 Coventry S. looming. Out of a listed-winning daughter of the G2 Cherry Hinton S. scorer Misheer (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), the February-foaled bay has some precocity and speed on the dam's side to mix with the stamina that Frankel is imparting.

3.00 Newmarket, Mdn, £5,400, 2yo, 6fT
CREATIVE FORCE (IRE) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the second Godolphin 2-year-old representative on this fascinating card and another likely favourite on the forecast. Again with Charlie Appleby, the €400,000 Goffs Orby purchase is a half-brother to the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. heroine Persuasive (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) who meets 10 others on this initial foray.

3.35 Newmarket, Mdn, £6,400, 2yo, f, 6fT
SKY ANGEL (IRE) (Dark Angel {Ire}) is the third of the Appleby eyecatchers, being an €800,000 Godolphin purchase at the Arqana Deauville August Sale, where she was the second highest-priced filly. Out of the G3 Prix Allez France scorer Mayhem (Ire) (Whipper), the April-foaled bay hails from the excellent Kilfrush Stud family of Cerulean Sky (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}).
