Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 19, 2024 Journalists Posted June 19, 2024 Wathnan Racing struck the woodwork more than once during Tuesday's opening day of Royal Ascot and made a belated breakthrough in Wednesday's opener, the G2 Queen Mary Stakes, with £190,000 Goffs Breeze-Up acquisition and once-raced Nottingham maiden winner Leovanni (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}–Kassandra {Ire}, by Dandy Man {Ire}). The Karl Burke trainee broke smartly and raced to the fore in the smaller far-side group throughout the five-furlong dash. Shaken up to gain an overall advantage soon after passing the quarter-mile marker, the 22-1 chance refused to buckle once in front and was driven out inside the final furlong to prevail by 1 3/4 lengths from Irish raider Mighty Eriu (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}). The winner's Yorkshire compatriot Maw Lam (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) finished a neck further adrift in the third. Star filly!
