Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 21, 2018 Journalists Posted June 21, 2018 Sixth last time in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly, Hunting Horn (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) was on song to win the G3 Hampton Court S. with authority and provide Ryan Moore with a 50th Royal Ascot winner. Racing in sixth without cover early, the 5-1 second favourite was sent past Crossed Baton (GB) (Dansili {GB}) with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and despite lugging down towards the rail stayed on strongly to score by 4 1/2 lengths from that rival, with a half length back to Zaaki (GB) (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) in third. “We were delighted with his last run and he can travel and quicken well like his sire,” Aidan O’Brien commented on his 63rd Royal winner. “We thought a mile and a quarter would suit well and Ryan gave him a lovely ride. He can step back up to a mile and a half and he has a lot of options, but he’s been busy for the last few weeks and might have a break.” HUNTING HORN (IRE), 126, c, 3, Camelot (GB)–Mora Bai (Ire), by Indian Ridge (Ire). O-Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor & Derrick Smith; B-Lynch-Bages & Rhinestone Bloodstock (IRE); T-Aidan O’Brien; J-Ryan Moore. £51,039. Lifetime Record: 7-2-1-2, £81,523. View the full article Quote
