There was a surprise in Friday’s G2 Hardwicke S., as the 4-year-old filly Fanny Logan (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) rolled back the years as a Frankie Dettori-ridden Royal Ascot winner in Sheikh Mohammed’s vintage maroon-and-white silks. Runner-up in Haydock’s G3 Pinnacle S. over this mile-and-a-half trip last time June 7, last year’s G3 Darley Pride S. winner who campaigns under the Sheikha Al Jalila Racing banner was reserved in rear early off the honest tempo. Launched wide in the straight, the 17-2 shot struck the front approaching the furlong pole and stayed on strongly to beat Alounak (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) by 2 1/2 lengths, with 1 3/4 lengths back to Defoe (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}) in third.
