Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 26, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 26, 2018 Like the G2 Debutante S. winner Skitter Scatter (Scat Daddy), Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) already had a group-race success to his name as he entered the G2 Galileo Irish EBF Futurity S. and duly emerged from the prestigious Curragh contest with his winning run uninterrupted. It looked far from certain for a large part of the race, as the 4-6 favourite was pushed along early by Ryan Moore much as last year’s winner Rostropovich (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) had been. With stablemate and Listed Coolmore Caravaggio S. winner Christmas (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) flying up ahead, it took until passing the furlong pole for the G3 Tyros S. scorer to get his head in front but once there he asserted under mainly hand-riding to record a half-length success, with Christmas in turn 2 1/4 lengths ahead of the third Rosegreen runner Mohawk (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).
