Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 13 Journalists Posted September 13 Wathnan's Fallen Angel (Too Darn Hot) loves nothing more than a trip overseas for a big prize and the grey was in the winning mood again on Saturday in Leopardstown's G1 Coolmore America Justify Matron Stakes. Fresh from regaining her mojo in Deauville's Prix Rothschild last month, the Moyglare and Irish Guineas winner who had been second to Porta Fortuna in this 12 months ago outstayed Exactly (Frankel) in the run to the line to prevail by half a length under James Doyle. Atsila (Phoenix Of Spain) was 3/4 of a length away in third. “She's so tough and very honest,” Karl Burke said of the 9-4 favourite, who was completing a double on the card. “You can't pull her around and it's taken a few rides to get to know her. She should stay a mile and a quarter, but you are better off being aggressive at a mile.” “She had got very lackadaisical at home and the sheepskins have sharpened her up,” he added. “She loves it in Ireland–maybe we should leave her here! She could go to Sun Chariot and then at Ascot on Champions Day to take on the boys.” Group 1 glory!
