Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 28, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 28, 2018 Having seen off Cracksman (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the June 20 G1 Prince of Wales’s S., Saeed Suhail’s Poet’s Word (Ire) (Poet’s Voice {GB}) mastered his rock-hard stablemate Crystal Ocean (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) to pull off a notable double in Saturday’s G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot. Delivered with perfect poise from behind by James Doyle as William Buick set the 6-4 favourite alight two out, the 7-4 second favourite ranged alongside a furlong out and with neither of the Freemason Lodge pair giving an inch proved the strongest by just a neck, with Coronet (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) languishing nine lengths back in third. “They are two wonderful brave athletes and my first reaction is to feel sorry for the runner-up,” Stoute commented after a crowning moment of his distinguished career which now features the outright record of six winners in this prestigious showcase.
