Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 31, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 31, 2018 He was pushed to near his limit this time, but Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) dug in to his reserves to prevail in a battle with Torcedor (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in Tuesday’s G1 Qatar Goodwood Cup. Sent off the 4-5 favourite to record back-to-back wins in the race that launched him 12 months ago, Bjorn Nielsen’s G1 Ascot Gold Cup hero raced in a share of third early under Andrea Atzeni as Torcedor set off to test him. Momentarily in trouble two furlongs from home, the chestnut managed to get to the long-time leader a furlong later and assert for a hard-fought half-length verdict, with Idaho (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) six lengths back in third.
