Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 22, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 22, 2018 Granted a soft first black-type success when bettering two over-matched rivals in Newmarket’s Listed Fairway S. last time, Godolphin’s Old Persian (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) had anything but an easy time in the G2 King Edward VII S. but he was man enough to hold off some tough rivals and continue his upward trajectory. Ridden forward from his high draw by William Buick to race in a close-up second, the 9-2 shot earned the lead before the quarter pole and stayed on tenaciously to beat Rostropovich (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) by 1 3/4 lengths, with another Ballydoyle representative in Giuseppe Garibaldi (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) a neck back in third. “He’s done nothing but progress through the spring and I said to William to go forward,” Charlie Appleby commented. “Once he hit the front, I was confident he would see it out well.” OLD PERSIAN (GB), 126, c, 3, by Dubawi (Ire)1st Dam: Indian Petal (GB), by Singspiel (Ire)2nd Dam: Wood Vine, by Woodman3rd Dam: Massaraat, by Nureyev1ST GROUP WIN.
