Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 13, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 13, 2019 Retaining his title in the G2 Fred Cowley MBE Memorial Summer Mile at Ascot on Saturday, King Power Racing’s Beat the Bank (GB) (Paco Boy {Ire}) unfortunately suffered a life-ending injury in the process. Following a second in the June 18 G1 Queen Anne S., the 2-1 favourite chased the early trio under Silvestre de Sousa and looked for much of the final furlong to be losing out to Zaaki (GB) (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}). Forging ahead with all of the will and spirit that marked his distinguished career, the 5-year-old sustained the injury yards from the post and was already pulling up short as he hit the line a nose ahead.
