Queen comes home in front

Sun 18th Sep 2011, 16:20

Homecoming Queen came good on her first handicap outing, and eighth career start, when making virtually all under Seamie Heffernan in the New Tote Sports Lounge Nursery.

The three parts sister to Arc hero Dylan Thomas quickened clear early in the straight, and the 7/1 chance kept on really well to beat Le Rouge Alex (14/1) by three and three quarter lengths. Dancing Sally (6/1) did some good work in the closing stages to finish just a nose further back in third, with Catfromtherock (16/1) in fourth.

Aidan O'Brien was not in attendance but Heffernan said, “She has a lovely pedigree and has been running well in maidens. She broke well, and kept on well in the straight.”
