Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 5, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 5, 2018 Sent off the prohibitive 1-2 chalk in Sunday’s GII La Jolla H. at Del Mar, River Boyne (Ire) (c, 3, Dandy Man {Ire}-Clytha {GB}, by Mark of Esteem {Ire}) was given a tactically flawless ride by Flavien Prat and ran out a comfortable winner of the middle leg of the 3-year-old series that ends with the GII Del Mar Derby in four weeks’ time. Settled in the second half of the field as Calexman (Midshipman) galloped them along at a leisurely tempo, River Boyne was right in behind the leading group, needing only a bit of clear sailing as the field neared the stretch. Pulled out three wide into the lane, the dark bay eased alongside and past the pacesetter and on to a comfortable victory as Arawak (Uncle Mo) closed well to touch Calexman out of second. River Boyne is the fifth graded/group winner for Dandy Man, best known as the sire of the talented Hong Kong G1SW sprinter Peniaphobia (Ire). Lifetime Record: 10-5-2-0. O-Red Barons Barn LLC & Rancho Temescal; B-Limestone & Tara Studs; T-Jeff Mullins. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
