Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 7, 2020 Journalists Share Posted August 7, 2020 Alexander Tamagni and Regula Vannod’s Watch Me (Fr) (Olympic Glory {Ire}), who last weekend added a victory in the G1 Prix Rothschild to her G1 Coronation S. score last year, has been retired. The news was first reported by Jour de Galop. “The mare didn’t return from her race on Sunday completely perfectly,” trainer Francis Graffard told Jour de Galop. “After veterinary examinations, we determined that her fetlocks were a little worn. And we preferred, in agreement with her owners, to not push it. She has brought us the utmost joy and the smart thing to do was to respect her.” Bred by Antoinette Tamagni and Cocheese Bloodstock, Watch Me was offered at Arqana August but was taken home when led out unsold at €30,000. Sent to the yard of Francis Graffard, she won at second asking at two. She won the G3 Prix Imprudence on seasonal debut at three before besting the dual Guineas winner Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) at Royal Ascot and was third in the G1 Prix de l’Opera before season’s end. The chestnut had won both her starts this season, taking the Listed Prix de la Calonne three weeks prior to the Rothschild.
