Misty For Me's Sister Unleashed at The Curragh

A full-sister to Misty For Me (pictured) debuts at The Curragh on Sunday | 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. Sunday's Insights features a full-sister to Classic heroine Misty For Me (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).

1.40 Newbury, £6,400, 2yo, c/g, 6fT
MUJBAR (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}) debuts for Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum and Charlie Hills with more than an outside chance that he could be another sprinting star for the combination who enjoyed so many red-letter days with his sire. A half-brother to the G1 Commonwealth Cup hero Eqtidaar (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and to the G2 Hungerford S. scorer Massaat (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), the March-foaled bay meets nine rivals including the Richard Hannon-trained Pure Dreamer (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), a granddaughter of the G1 Irish and Yorkshire Oaks heroine Pure Grain (GB) (Polish Precedent) who sports the famed Barnett silks.

 

2.00 Curragh, Mdn, €16,500, 2yo, f, 7fT
APRIL SHOWERS (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) represents the Donnacha O'Brien stable and is a full-sister to the four-times Group 1 winner and Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Misty For Me (Ire) who is now the dam of the high-class War Front duo U S Navy Flag and Roly Poly. Carrying Susan Magnier's colours, the March-foaled bay meets nine rivals including Ballydoyle's Snowfall (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) , the relative of Found (Ire) who was unlucky here last month.
