Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 17 Journalists Posted June 17 Barraston Racing's 5-year-old handicap regular American Affair (Washington DC) had not set foot in black-type territory until last month and stepped forward to claim GI King Charles III Stakes glory for Scotland after another ding-dong cliffhanger. The 11-1 chance finished a close-up fifth behind Mgheera (Zoustar) in Haydock's G2 Temple Stakes and the Jim Goldie trainee's task was made easier when that rival was scratched at the start after losing a shoe. Tucked away in mid division until coming under pressure to reduce arrears approaching the quarter-mile marker, he went second with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and was driven out in the latter stages to deny G3 Nad Al Sheba Turf winner Frost At Dawn (Frosted) by a neck after a pulsating duel. The fast-breaking long-time leader Regional (Territories) ran on in game fashion once headed and finished one length back in third.
