Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 29, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 29, 2019 3.15 Sandown, Mdn, £7,400, 2yo, 7fTPALACE PIER (GB) (Kingman {GB}) represents a new link-up between Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum and John Gosden and is a 600,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate whose dam is a half to the smart group winners Bonfire (GB) (Manduro {Ger}) and Joviality (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}). The March-foaled bay encounters some other choicely-bred newcomers including Saeed Suhail’s My Frankel (GB) (Frankel {GB}), a Sir Michael Stoute-trained 380,000gns buy at the same auction whose dam is the G2 Debutante S. winner My Special J’s (Harlan’s Holiday). 4.20 Curragh, Mdn, €17,500, 2yo, c/g, 8fTNOBEL PRIZE (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is one of three Ballydoyle representatives in a maiden the yard has won for the last five years including with Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}). A full-brother to the high-class Highland Reel (Ire), the May-foaled bay should be playing second fiddle to his experienced stablemate Mogul (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), the 3.4million gns Tattersalls October Book 1 highlight and full-brother to Japan (GB) whose debut second to Geometrical (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) at Gowran Park earlier this month looks solid after the winner went on to be second in last week’s G2 Futurity S.
