Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 24, 2019 Journalists Share Posted February 24, 2019 Archie Watson hopes MGSW Soldier’s Call (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) can make it back-to-back wins at Royal Ascot by claiming a first top-level victory in the G1 King’s Stand S. this coming June. The Lambourn handler has first earmarked an outing in the Listed Westow S. at York in May for the son of Showcasing, who ended last season finishing down the field in the Listed Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs in November. After providing Watson with his first winner at the Royal meeting in the Listed Windsor Castle S., the Clipper Logistics-owned 3-year-old subsequently claimed victories at Group 3 and 2 level–as well as finishing third on his first start at the top table in the G1 Prix de l’Abbaye. Watson said, “Soldier’s Call is back in with me, and I’m very happy with him. He went back to his owners and has done very well–and I think he has strengthened up. He has got a very good mind on him and has gone straight back into a routine very easily. We will probably kick him off in the at the Dante meeting at York in the Westow S., with a view to run him in the King’s Stand S. a month later. I would prefer to start to him off in an easier race against his own age group rather than run him in the [G3] Palace House S. or [G2] Temple S., where he might have a hard race.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
