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. Thursday’s Observations features a half-brother to Ace Impact.<\/p>\n

12.23 Cagnes-Sur-Mer, Debutantes, 2yo, c\/g, 10f (AWT)<\/strong>
ARMANO (FR) (Waldgeist {GB}) <\/strong>is the seventh foal out of the remarkable Absolutly Me (Anabaa Blue), which makes him a half-brother to Cracksman’s illustrious son Ace Impact who was the winner of this in 2023 before it was renamed in his honour. Bidding to make it a third win in the race for the dam’s progeny after the subsequent Prix Royal-Oak hero Arrow Eagle in 2024, Waltraut Spanner’s Jean-Claude Rouget-trained homebred meets the Wertheimers’ Frankish (Ire)<\/strong> (Lope De Vega {Ire}), a Yann Barberot-trained son of the 1,000 Guineas heroine Miss France (Dansili). Armano is also looking to add to Jean-Claude Rouget’s tally in this, with the stable’s eventual Grand Prix de Paris hero Leffard continuing the trend 12 months ago.<\/p>\n
