Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 19, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 19, 2018 John Gunther’s run of luck is bordering on the obscene and just days after the colt he bred Justify (Scat Daddy) completed the Triple Crown he was able to live out a longtime dream of owning a Royal Ascot homebred winner as Without Parole (GB) (Frankel {GB}) justified 9-4 favouritism for a John Gosden-Frankie Dettori axis in firm forward motion. Settled third early as US Navy Flag (War Front) set off to prove the stamina question once and for all, the bay who took the Listed Heron S. at Sandown May 24 swooped on that tiring leader passing the quarter pole and stayed on strongly as Ballydoyle’s other runner Gustav Klimt (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) bore down on him. At the line, he had a half length to spare, with 3 1/4 lengths back to Wootton (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) in third as the 3-year-old miling division finally sorted itself out. “He had gone very fast on US Navy Flag and it was a brave performance from my horse, as he had to commit early,” Gosden said. “The horse would have learned a lot and there is a lot more to come.” WITHOUT PAROLE (GB), 126, c, 3, by Frankel (GB)1st Dam: Without You Babe, by Lemon Drop Kid2nd Dam: Marozia, by Storm Bird3rd Dam: Make Change, by Roberto1ST GROUP WIN; 1ST GROUP 1 WIN.
