Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 26, 2024 Journalists Share Posted October 26, 2024 It was as tight as it gets between the two Irish colts at the end of Saturday's G1 William Hill Futurity Trophy, with Silverton Hill's G2 Beresford Stakes and G3 Tyros Stakes winner Hotazhell (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}–Azenzar {GB}, by Danehill Dancer {Ire}) nosing out Delacroix (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) for the Doncaster feature. Positioned close to the early pace by Shane Foley, the 11-1 shot moved to Ballydoyle's 15-8 favourite passing two out and the two colts with the pattern-race experience soon had it between them. There was some leaning and bumping after battle commenced, but it was a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other with Hotazhell having his nose marginally ahead in the bobber. There was a 4 3/4-length margin back to Wimbledon Hawkeye (GB) (Kameko) in third as the unexposed contenders struggled to make an impact. “He's a very tough horse and he gave everything and dug in deep there,” winning trainer Jessie Harrington said. What a FINISH!
