Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 14, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 14, 2019 Leopardstown’s G1 QIPCO Irish Champion S. proved one for the fillies on Saturday, as Magical (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) led home stablemate Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) with the Japanese mare Deirdre (Jpn) (Harbinger {GB}) an unlucky fourth. After three seconds in the G1 Prince of Wales’s S., G1 Eclipse S. and G1 Yorkshire Oaks, the 11-10 favourite was perfectly positioned in second early by Ryan Moore who asked her to seal victory passing two out. Staying on strongly, she prevailed by 2 1/4 lengths with a head back to Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) for another Ballydoyle one-two-three. Deirdre, who was denied a run in the straight, finished strongly down the outer. 1–MAGICAL (IRE), 130, f, 4, by Galileo (Ire)1st Dam: Halfway To Heaven (Ire) (MG1SW-Eng, G1SW-Ire & G1SP-Fr, $941,139), by Pivotal (GB)2nd Dam: Cassandra Go (Ire), by Indian Ridge (Ire)3rd Dam: Rahaam, by Secreto O-Derrick Smith, Susan Magnier & Michael Tabor; B-Orpendale, Chelston & Wynatt (IRE); T-Aidan O’Brien; J-Ryan Moore. €712,500.
