News From Tim Easterby
Queens Revenge is to step up to six furlongs for her next race after being an unlucky loser at Beverley.
The Tim Easterby-trained filly was carried left shortly after the start but was only beaten two lengths in fourth place behind Dozy in the Hilary Needler Trophy over the stiff five furlongs at the East Yorkshire track.
Connections have since rejected a good offer for the daughter of Multiplex, who had made a winning debut at Ripon, and are now looking forward to running her at either Royal Ascot or Newmarket this month.
Owner Henry Ponsonby said: "She's come out of the race very well indeed. She was unlucky at Beverley and we turned down a big offer for her the next day.
"Not only was she knocked sideways by Frankie Dettori's mount (Vocational) when she came out of the stalls, the effect also pushed the saddle back.
"She was only beaten two lengths. I think she was the moral winner. We were very pleased for her to run as well as she did coming up the middle on the worse ground there.
"She'll either go for the Albany at Royal Ascot or she might wait for the Empress Stakes at Newmarket the following week, a six-furlong Listed fillies' race. She's bred to get six and further."
