Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 17, 2021 Journalists Share Posted June 17, 2021 Denied a tilt at the G1 Epsom Derby due to the eve-of-race downpour, Shadwell's Mohaafeth (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) had luck on his side on Thursday and after the overnight thunderstorm had bypassed Ascot duly showed his wares in the G3 Hampton Court S. Anchored towards the back early by Jim Crowley, the 11-8 favourite had to come five-wide on the home bend but had the engine to get to the front passing two out as Roman Empire (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) stuck close by. Drifting away from the whip and across that Ballydoyle rival soon after, the William Haggas-trained chestnut who had stunned in the May 1 Listed Newmarket S. over this 10-furlong trip had to dig deeper this time. Making the margin 1 3/4 lengths at the line, he was allowed to keep the race after an inquiry with Roman Empire in turn a head in front of Secret Protector (War Front) who had been five lengths behind the winner in the Newmarket.
