Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 11, 2024 Journalists Posted October 11, 2024 Proving yet again that Aidan O'Brien's second string is never to be discounted in pattern races, the 25-1 shot Merrily (No Nay Never–Caponata, by Selkirk) swooped to conquer in Friday's G3 Godolphin Lifetime Care Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket. Anchored in rear early by Wayne Lordan, the relative of Sunday's Arc heroine Bluestocking (GB) (Camelot {GB}) was a touch free early in response the switch in tactics from her latest fifth in the G3 Weld Park Stakes. Saving her energy for the finale this time, the $325,000 Keeneland September graduate reeled in the 3-1 favourite Cathedral (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) with 150 yards remaining en route to a half-length success, with Flight (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) 3 1/4 lengths behind in third. Her win now makes it 13 in black-type races for Ballydoyle's juvenile fillies in 2024.
