Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 18, 2021 Journalists Share Posted June 18, 2021 After the agony of losing the G1 Commonwealth Cup in the stewards' room having finished first-past-the-post on Dragon Symbol (GB) (Cable Bay {Ire}) in the previous race, Oisin Murphy was straight back in the hallowed place as he steered Alcohol Free (Ire) (No Nay Never) to glory in the G1 Coronation S. on Friday. Jeff Smith's G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine had been fifth in the G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket May 2, but trainer Andrew Balding who is having a Royal Ascot to savour was adamant she was better than that bare performance. Covered up in mid-pack early, the 11-2 shot was staying on as the front-running G2 German 1000 Guineas winner Novemba (Ger) (Gleneagles {Ire}) was beginning to hit the wall approaching the furlong pole. Getting past her soon after, the bay surged to the line to score by 1 1/2 lengths from TDN Rising Star Snow Lantern (GB) (Frankel {GB}), with the Guineas heroine Mother Earth (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) a neck behind, denying Novemba third by half a length.
