Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 15, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 15, 2019 Godolphin’s G2 Vintage S. winner Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal) put all doubt about whether he will be crowned champion 2-year-old aside with a brilliant performance in Sunday’s G1 Goffs Vincent O’Brien National S. at The Curragh. Settled two lengths off the early pace by William Buick, the 1-3 favourite went past the G2 Coventry S. winner Arizona (Ire) (No Nay Never) as if he was standing still approaching two out before turning into an equine maserati. Stretching away from him and the G3 Tyros S. and G2 Futurity S. scorer Armory (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in memorable style, he had nine lengths to spare at the line over him, with Arizona a neck away in third. “He’s the best horse I’ve had as a 2-year-old, no doubt about it, and he’s exciting,” Charlie Appleby said. “I see no reason why he wouldn’t go for the Dewhurst, as he’s just had a piece of work there.” 1–PINATUBO (IRE), 129, c, 2, by Shamardal1st Dam: Lava Flow (Ire) (SW-Fr), by Dalakhani (Ire)2nd Dam: Mount Elbrus (GB), by Barathea (Ire)3rd Dam: El Jazirah (GB), by Kris (GB)1ST GROUP 1 WIN.
