Newbury Debut For Sister To Newspaperofrecord

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed 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 full-sister to Grade I winner Newspaperofrecord (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}).

CLASSIC TIMES (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) is a full-sister to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf and GI Just a Game S. heroine Newspaperofrecord (Ire) who makes her belated debut for her owner-breeder Allan Belshaw and the Roger Varian stable. Also related to Camelot's Irish Derby hero Latrobe (Ire) and the Oaks runner-up Pink Dogwood (Ire), she has a stiff test on her bow against some promising types headed by Valmont's G3 Oh So Sharp S. runner-up Lose Yourself (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) from the Ralph Beckett stable.
