Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 17, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 17, 2018 Just 12 days after the G1 2000 Guineas, Qatar Racing’s Roaring Lion (Kitten’s Joy) showed what an industrious colt he is as well as possessing a deal of class as he preyed on his opponents in York’s G2 Betfred Dante S. on Thursday. Making a huge step forward from his below-par comeback third in the Apr. 19 G3 Craven S. to be fifth to arch-rival Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in the Newmarket Classic, the grey was allowed to start as big as 3-1 but made a nonsense of those odds with Oisin Murphy left only to decide when to strike. Following the pace set by Mildenberger (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) with ease, he was let go approaching the furlong pole and darted clear while edging left as is his custom. At the line, there were 4 1/2 lengths to the long-time leader, with Aidan O’Brien getting a marker to the form in third with the 50-1 outsider Zabriskie (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), who was carrying two pounds overweight, 1 1/4 lengths behind.
