Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 11, 2020 Journalists Share Posted October 11, 2020 Stall Lintec’s Best of Lips (Ire) (The Gurkha {Ire}) provided Coolmore’s first-season sire (by Galileo {Ire}) with his first black-type winner on Sunday when scoring with authority in the prestigious G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten at Cologne. Having won over nine furlongs at Dortmund Sept. 20, the 14-5 shot tracked the early pace under Franny Norton before taking command soon into the straight. Galloping on strongly to the line despite looking at the stands, the bay had 3 1/2 lengths to spare over Sea of Sands (Ger) (Sea the Stars {Ire}). “Fair play to Andreas [Suborics], he had a plan before the race but everyone else was on to it and I was caught a little bit deep,” Norton commented. “He had to show a bit of class and picked up well.” The post First Black-Type Winner For The Gurkha appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
