Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 18, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 18, 2019 Aidan O’Brien matched jockey Sir Gordon Richards’ record haul and extended his own trainers’ record, as 15-8 favourite Arizona (Ire) (No Nay Never) pounced wide and late to secure a ninth edition for the trainer in Tuesday’s G2 Coventry S. at Royal Ascot. The bay was tenderly handled in defeat over six furlongs at The Curragh in his May 6 debut and obliterated the opposition when streaking to an eight-length score back over the same course and distance in his only other start last time May 26. Racing off the pace in the far-side group of nine from the outset, he was scrubbed along approaching the final quarter mile and kept on relentlessly under a final-furlong drive to outpoint 4-1 market rival Threat (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) by a half-length in the dying strides with 6-1 chance Guildsman (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) a neck further back in third. ARIZONA (IRE), c, 2, No Nay Never–Lady Ederle, by English Channel. (65,000gns Wlg ’17 TATFOA; €260,000 Ylg ’18 ARAUG. Lifetime Record: 3-2-1-0, £99,433.
