Alice Springs's Daughter White Sand Beach Resurfaces At The Curragh

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. Sunday's Observations features a returning daughter of a three-time Group 1 winner.

WHITE SAND BEACH (Dubawi {Ire}) drops in trip, having shown abundant promise when runner-up on debut over an extended mile at Punchestown 12 days ago. Ballydoyle's runner is a daughter of the triple Group 1 heroine Alice Springs (Galileo). Two of Aidan O'Brien's last four winners of this maiden went on to run in the Criterium International so charting her progress from here will be interesting.
