Roaring Lion’s Queen Of The Pride Wins The Lancashire Oaks

[Wandering Eyes]

Returning to the course and distance of her G3 Lester Piggott Stakes win, Qatar Racing's Queen Of The Pride (GB) (Roaring Lion–Simple Verse {Ire), by Duke Of Marmalade {Ire}) mastered Saturday's G2 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock to continue her upward trajectory. Held up by Oisin Murphy throughout the early stages, the John and Thady Gosden-trained 100-30 second favourite moved to Tiffany (Ire) (Farhh {GB}) with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and drew away from that 85-40 favourite to win by three lengths, with the Lester Piggott Stakes runner-up Lady Boba (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) a further half-length away in third.
