Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 19, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 19, 2019 Mick and Janice Mariscotti’s Dashing Willoughby (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) was no match for subsequent G1 Epsom Derby fifth Sir Dragonet (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) when third in last month’s G3 Chester Vase, but stepped forward in game fashion to claim Wednesday’s G2 Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot. Under heavy restraint in third behind a modest pace set by Nayef Road (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) for most of the 14-furlong slog, the 6-1 chance loomed large off the home turn to launch his challenge at the quarter-mile marker and stayed on strongly under a drive to deny Barbados (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) by a half-length, despite veering right nearing the line. Nayef Road kept on gamely to finish a half-length further back in third. DASHING WILLOUGHBY (GB), c, 3, Nathaniel (Ire)–Miss Dashwood (GB), by Dylan Thomas (Ire). (70,000gns Ylg ’17 TAOCT). Lifetime Record: 6-2-2-1, £151,147. O-Mick & Janice Mariscotti; B-Meon Valley Stud (GB); T-Andrew Balding; J-Oisin Murphy. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
