Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 15, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 15, 2018 MG1SW Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) has been supplemented, as expected, for the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. at Ascot on Champions Day. Karl Burke’s superstar proved her well-bring in an exercise gallop on Sunday, and owner John Dance stumped up the £70,000 fee. She is due to be reunited with PJ McDonald, who has missed her victories in the G1 Matron S. and G1 Sun Chariot S. through injury. “She worked today I’m very happy with her,” said Burke on Sunday. “PJ rode her. It wasn’t a hard piece of work, it was just with her usual lead horse, but she looks in great form. She looks fantastic and we are all very happy.” In other Champions Day news, G1SW Accidental Agent (GB) (Delegator {GB}) will miss the QEII due to a “minor setback”. A surprise winner of the G1 Queen Anne at the Royal meeting in June, he has disappointed in two runs since in the G1 Jacques le Marois at Deauville and the G2 Joel S. at Newmarket. While confirming the 4-year-old stays in training next year, trainer Eve Johnson Houghton tweeted that he would miss the meeting at which he was fourth 12 months ago in the Balmoral H. “Having met with a minor setback, we have made the decision not to run Accidental Agent again year,” she tweeted. “Although we are sad to miss the QEII @Ascot, we can’t wait for next year with him. #group1winner.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
