Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 23, 2022 Journalists Posted July 23, 2022 The heat was on in Saturday's G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco S. at Ascot and there was no hiding place as Pyledriver (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}) proved ruthless to prevail for the William Muir and Chris Grassick stable and jockey P J McDonald. Sent off at 18-1 with a below-par second in the June 3 G1 Coronation Cup last time tempering enthusiasm, last year's winner of that Epsom prize was always in his comfort zone tracking Westover (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and Broome (Ire) (Australia {GB}) and when sent on passing the two pole lengthened clear for an emphatic 2 3/4-length success from Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}). Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) was eight lengths away in third, while the pair of 3-year-olds, Westover who was sent off the 13-8 favourite, and Emily Upjohn (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), proved major disappointments as the last pair home.
