Kempton Debut For Courage Mon Ami's Half-Sister Safe And Sound

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. Wednesday's Observations features a half-sister to G1 Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami.

7.00 Kempton, Mdn, £8,000, 3-5yo, f/m, 7f (AWT)
SAFE AND SOUND (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}) is the 10th foal out of Anthony Oppenheimer's star broodmare Crimson Ribbon, responsible so far for six black-type performers headed by Frankel's G1 Gold Cup hero Courage Mon Ami. Introduced at this track as that high-class stayer had been and at which his other significant half-brother Lion's Pride has enjoyed his best days, the John and Thady Gosden-trained homebred is certain to need far more than this trip in time.
