Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 20, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 20, 2018 Off the board in three Group 1 outings since registering a half-length second in Royal Ascot’s June 22 G1 Commonwealth Cup, The Cool Silk Partnership’s Sands of Mali (Fr) (Panis) returned to the scene of that effort and caused a 28-1 shock in Saturday’s G1 Qipco British Champions Sprint. The bay was sharpest into stride and secured immediate control of the straight six-furlong dash. Nudged along passing the quarter-mile marker, he would not relent and kept on strongly under a final-furlong drive to withstand the persistent threat of Harry Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) by a length. Donjuan Triumphant (Ire) (Dream Ahead) emerged from the pack to finish best of the rest, 1 1/4 lengths back in third. 1–SANDS OF MALI (FR), 127, c, 3, by Panis1st Dam: Kadiania (Fr), by Indian Rocket (GB)2nd Dam: Kapi Creek (Fr), by Sicyos3rd Dam: Kirigane (Fr), by Vitiges (Fr) (€20,000 Ylg ’16 OSLATE; £75,000 2yo ’17 TATABR).
