Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 3, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 3, 2018 Connections of Lightning Spear (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) are eyeing a start in the GI Breeders’ Cup Mile after the 7-year-old scooped the G1 Sussex S. a “Win And You’re In” qualifying race for that Churchill Downs feature in November. After several near-misses, the popular David Simcock-trained Qatar Racing colourbearer struck at Group 1 level at the 16th attempt in the mile showpiece at Goodwood on Wednesday, beating Expert Eye (GB) (Acclamation {GB}) in the hands of Oisin Murphy. “He really did deserve that victory,” said Newmarket-based Simcock. “We can enjoy him like we always do, but we can enjoy him a little bit more now. I don’t really know where we will go at the moment and we will sit down and talk about it. I know Sheikh Fahad would like to end up at the Breeders’ Cup, so that is where he will probably end up. He loves travelling and he loves racing his horses, so that is where we will probably end up. Where we go between now and then, I don’t know.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
