Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 22, 2023 Journalists Posted December 22, 2023 ISOLATE (h, 5, Mark Valeski–Tranquil Song, by Unbridled's Song) gave trainer Doug Watson the first two home in the AED1-million G2 Al Maktoum Mile at Meydan on Friday. The bay settled in a tracking second in a good rhythm under Tyler Gaffalione, before taking over on the backstretch. It was all over but the singing at that point, as he strolled home the easiest of winners, with stablemate and G2 Al Maktoum Challenge Round 1 winner Golden Goal (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) running second, 3 1/2 lengths back. Celtic Prince (GB) (Shamardal) got up for third, another 2 1/4 lengths behind. The final time for the 1600m over a fast surface was 1:37.21. A winner of the Tale of the Cat S. by six lengths at Saratoga last August, Isolate ran second by a nose in the Louisville Thoroughbred Society S. in September prior to packing his bags for the desert. He filled the runner-up spot in both the G3 Al Shindagha Sprint in February, and the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal in March, prior to his Dubai World Cup night heroics in the G2 Godolphin Mile.
