Seven-Figure Tattersalls Sensation Act Of Kindness Debuts At Newmarket

Wait 5 sec.

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Saturday's Observations features 3.7 million gns debuter Act Of Kindness.4.45 Newmarket, Mdn, 2yo, f, 7fTACT OF KINDNESS (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), the third-highest-priced yearling sold at last year's Tattersalls October Book 1 bonanza at 3.7million gns, had been taken out of her intended debut at Sandown last month and Charlie Appleby sticks much closer to home with the half-sister to Frankel's Fillies' Mile winner Ylang Ylang. Godolphin's precious commodity is taken on by nine peers including TBT Racing's Forbidden Colours (Ire) (Kingman {GB}), an Ed Walker-trained 750,000gns purchase at the same auction whose dam is an unraced sister to the Oaks runner-up Dance Sequence. 3.50 Haydock, Mdn, 2yo, c/g, 7f 212yTPOSEIDON'S WARRIOR (IRE) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is another big-money acquisition by Godolphin to debut on the afternoon, being a 900,000gns purchase at the Goffs Orby Book 1 which made him the second-highest-priced colt sold at that auction. A grandson of the Preis der Diana heroine Amarette, the Charlie Appleby representative encounters Amo Racing's 625,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 buy Saxophonic (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a Karl Burke-trained relative of the luminary Alice Springs. 5.20 Newmarket, Mdn, 2yo, f, 7fTOTTOMAN EMPRESS (GB) (Zarak {Fr}) may not have cost as much as Godolphin's other high-profile debutantes earlier on the afternoon, but as a 550,000gns half-sister to the Appleby stable's five-times Group and Graded-Stakes scorer Ottoman Fleet (Sea The Stars) is no back number. If she likes this track half as much as her Wise Dan-winning half-sibling, she could be okay as she faces eight rivals on her first outing.The post Seven-Figure Tattersalls Sensation Act Of Kindness Debuts At Newmarket appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
