Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 8, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 8, 2019 BRICKS AND MORTAR (h, 5, Giant’s Causeway–Beyond the Waves, by Ocean Crest) continues to dominate the male turf division with fifth straight score in Belmont’s GI Manhattan S. Favored at 3-5, the bay rated in mid-pack early as longshot Bandua (The Factor) clocked a half in :48.73. Making rapid progress up the outside on the backstretch, he was four wide turning for home and closed powerfully to win going away by two lengths. Robert Bruce (Chi) (Fast Company {Ire}) was second and Raging Bull (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) was third for a Chad Brown-trained trifecta. Returning off a 14-month layoff to win a Gulfstream optional claimer in December, Bricks and Mortar captured the inaugural GI Pegasus World Cup Turf S. Jan. 26. Unstoppable since, he has rattled off wins in the Mar. 23 GII Mervin Muniz Memorial H. and the GI Woodford Reserve Turf Classic S. at Churchill May 4. Lifetime Record: 11-9-0-2. O-Klaravich Stables & William Lawrence; B-George Strawbridge Jr. (KY); T-Chad Brown.
