Pinatubo’s Yorkshire Oaks-Bound Qilin Queen Too Tough In The Prix de Malleret

[Wandering Eyes]

Leading at every step in Sunday's G2 Cygames Prix de Malleret at ParisLongchamp, Qilin Queen (Pinatubo) put another feather in the cap of TBT Racing with a game career-best. Hunted down all the way to the line by the hot favourite Sunly (Night Of Thunder), the 6-1 shot who had beaten only one rival in the Oaks clung on to score by a short neck under Kieran Shoemark.

“We went to Epsom with big hopes, but were so disappointed and felt it was the soft ground,” trainer Ed Walker said. “We knew it would be quick here and she stays well, so we were confident she would stay the mile and a half. She's in the Yorkshire Oaks, so we'll try and get the Group One now.”

Favourite beaten!
