Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 4 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 4 hours ago Emulating his half-brother Earthlight (Ire) (Shamardal), Godolphin's Shadow Of Light (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}–Winters Moon {Ire}, by New Approach {Ire}) took a major stride forward to dominate Saturday's G1 Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket. Content to track the 4-5 market-leader Whistlejacket (Ire) (No Nay Never) and the leader Dash Dizzy (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), the Charlie Appleby-trained 11-4 second favourite who had been second in the G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York in August was sent forward by William Buick to take command approaching two out and surge to an emphatic four-length success. Whistlejacket, who was the sole Ballydoyle representative after the withdrawal of Ides Of March (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), held on for second by 1 1/2 lengths from Dash Dizzy. “He'd improved a lot since York, where he didn't get the rub of the green and the ground was an unknown today but he was impressive,” Buick said. “He's growing up all the time and is very versatile as to how races are run. He rides like a very quick horse and he could get further, but he looks a six-furlong horse to me.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1840029819142082791 The post Lope De Vega’s Shadow Of Light Wins The Middle Park For Godolphin appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
