Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 5, 2024 Journalists Posted September 5, 2024 Carrying a seven-pound penalty for his taking debut win at Newmarket last month, Wathnan Racing's Defence Minister (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}–Tears Of The Sun {GB}, by Mastercraftsman {Ire}) shrugged off the extra burden to win decisively in his six-furlong novice at Haydock on Thursday. Settled behind the leaders early by James Doyle, the 11-8 favourite surged to the front inside the final furlong for a 1 1/2-length defeat of Arabian Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}). The Hamad Al Jehani trainee, who was a €210,000 Tattersalls Ireland Goresbridge Breeze Up purchase, is currently the last known foal out of a daughter of the Listed Rosemary Stakes winner Perfect Star (GB) (Act One {GB}), whose leading progeny is the G3 Prestige Stakes winner Kilmah (GB) (Sepoy {Aus}). Strong form Defence Minister makes it 2-2 in what looked on paper a good little novice event @haydockraces.
