John Gosden’s decision to pitch Sheikh Zayed bin Mohammed Racing’s June 7 G3 Brigadier Gerard S. winner Lord North (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) into Wednesday’s G1 Prince of Wales’s S. paid handsome dividends as the 4-year-old demolished his rivals. Settled in rear by James Doyle early, the 5-1 shot stormed to the front approaching the furlong pole and surged clear to beat Addeybb (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) by 3 3/4lengths, with Barney Roy (GB) (Excelebration {Ire}) 1 1/4 lengths back in third.
