Pedigree Watch – Euro 3YO

The flat racing season has kicked off in Europe with three quality races for new season three year-olds at Leopardstown overnight producing a quinella for Wootton Bassett (GB), a blue-blood Kingman filly for Juddmonte and two of the three winners were trained by Aidan O’Brien for the Coolmore partners.

Wootton Lass Salutes at Randwick

Two strong juvenile maiden races at Randwick on Wednesday very nearly produced a winning double for Coolmore based shuttler Wootton Bassett (GB) with his colt Regulated Affair missing by a whisker on debut and then his talented filly Wootton Lass made amends with a stylish victory at her second start.

The Battle for Champion 2YO Sire Title

Wootton Bassett Stallion Wins G1 Canterbury Stakes

The $750,000 Group I ATC Canterbury Stakes (1300m) at Randwick on Saturday attracted a crackerjack field of serious G1 talent and when they got to the winning post it was one of only two runners in the race that was not a G1 winner that got the prize and it was the glorious Wootton Basset import Royal Patronage (Fr).

Wootton Bassett 1st Foal from G1 Winner a Debut Winner - Half to Easter
