Due to the late start of the turf season, there are going to be plenty of two-year-old races between now and the end of the year and there is every chance a future star will make their first racecourse appearance.
Since the last issue there has been some high-class two-year-old racing across Europe with plenty of Group 1 races to look back on.
Newmarket Cambridgeshire Meeting
The first juvenile winner of the meeting was Royal Champion who made a winning racecourse debut for Roger Varian in the one-mile maiden. He was too strong for favourite Toromana inside the final furlong winning by a length and quarter. He has an excellent pedigree and should be running in Group races over a mile and quarter next year.
Lost In Space might have taken four starts to win his first race, but he hasn’t stopped improving since winning at Lingfield in mid-August. He followed up with a win at Newmarket’s July course and he comfortably won the one-mile nursery by four lengths off a mark of 90. He was raised 10lb for that win and is likely to have his next start for a new trainer as connections have decided to sell him at the Horses-In-Training Sale at Newmarket at the end of October.
The feature race on the opening day of the three-day meeting was the Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes over 7f which saw La Barrosa go off a strong favourite following an impressive debut win at Ascot which has seen plenty of next time out winners. He picked up well inside the last 100 yards having been trapped against the running rail, leading with 50 yards to go, beating Dark Lion by a length to retain his unbeaten record. He is one of the leading juveniles in the Charlie Appleby yard and he should progress into leading three-year-old in 2021.
