Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 11, 2019 Journalists Share Posted May 11, 2019 CHANNEL MAKER (g, 5, English Channel–In Return, by Horse Chestnut {SAf}) romped in the GI Joe Hirsch Turf Classic the last time he stepped foot on the local lawn back in September, and he returned to winning ways in Saturday’s GI Man o’ War S. The 6-1 shot sat third early as Hunting Horn (Ire) (Camelot {GB})–one of two Aidan O’Brien invaders–zipped out to take a clear lead. Hunting Horn seemed like he might just forget to stop as he headed for home still with a significant advantage, but he grew leg weary by midstretch and the cavalry charge started to bear down on him. Channel Maker was the first to collar him, and he kept on to the wire, holding off a flourish from Arklow (Arch) by about 3/4 of a length. Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the other O’Brien runner, wasn’t far back in third, while Hunting Horn rounded out the super. The winner was last seen finishing fourth in Gulfstream’s GII Mac Diarmida S. Mar. 2. Sales history: $57,000 RNA yrl ’15 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 24-5-4-3. O-Wachtel Stable, Gary Barber, R. A.
