Showcasing’s Mohaather Wins the Horris Hill

[Wandering Eyes]

   It has been a long time since Marcus Tregoning has enjoyed success in a prestige race with a Shadwell representative, but Mohaather (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) ended the wait as he registered a 33-1 upset in Saturday’s G3 Horris Hill S. at Newbury. Largely ignored coming off a narrow success in a six-furlong novice contest at Nottingham Oct. 10, the relative of this year’s G1 Queen Anne S. hero Accidental Agent (GB) (Delegator {GB}) was tucked in behind all rivals from his outside draw by Martin Dwyer as Azano (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) set out his stall in front. Creeping closer from halfway, the bay reeled in the long-time leader with 150 yards remaining and was pushed out to record an ultimately comfortable 1 1/2-length success, with five lengths back to Almufti (GB) (Toronado {Ire}) in third.
