Dubawi’s Lead Artist Wins The Lockinge For Juddmonte And The Gosdens

[Wandering Eyes]

A renewal of Newbury's G1 BoyleSports Lockinge Stakes which read like a puzzle went the way of Juddmonte's Lead Artist, with the son of Dubawi the one peaking at the right time on Saturday. Supported into 17-2 for the mile feature with the Gosdens fully expecting the regally-connected homebred to leave his latest last-of-eight in the G2 Sandown Mile way behind, the otherwise progressive 4-year-old was positioned near the steady early tempo by Oisin Murphy with the race's main fancies anchored too far back.

As the heat was turned up at halfway, it was the Sandown Mile winner Dancing Gemini who attacked first of the closers and he managed to get in front of Lead Artist inside the final furlong only to pay for his hard effort near the line. There was a neck between the winner and that 2-1 favourite there, with Rosallion 2 1/4 lengths away on his return.
