Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 5 hours ago Journalists Posted 5 hours ago Even without Albert Einstein, Ballydoyle were able to come up with one to dominate another competitive renewal of Royal Ascot's G2 Coventry Stakes and provide Aidan O'Brien with an 11th renewal. The colt in question was Starspangledbanner's Gstaad, a half-brother to Vandeek who had beaten the yard's much-vaunted filly True Love on debut at Navan last month and generated enough support here to start as the 7-2 favourite. Always travelling strongly up the centre under Ryan Moore, the bay who at 450,000gns was the top-priced colt at the 2023 Tattersalls December Foal Sale streaked away from two out to record an emphatic three-length success from Do Or Do Not (Space Blues), with Coppull (Bated Breath) a neck away in third. “Ryan gave him a lovely, uncomplicated ride and he's a lovely horse. He's a big horse who gets the trip very well,” said O'Brien.
