Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 20, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 20, 2018 Recently bought into by Phoenix Thoroughbreds, Signora Cabello (Ire) (Camacho {GB}) came to Royal Ascot to win for the North as she showed gutsy determination to prevail in the G2 Queen Mary S. Sent off at a bewildering 25-1 considering her connections and the fact that she came here off a win in the Listed Marygate Fillies’ S. over this five-furlong trip at York May 18, the bay was rousted along from break by Oisin Murphy and raced prominently in the centre as the 10-3 favourite and TDN Rising Star Chelsea Cloisters (First Samurai) blew the start. Driven into a narrow lead from Shades of Blue (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) inside the last 100 yards, she held off Ballydoyle’s Gossamer Wings (Scat Daddy) in a pulsating finale by a short head, with the same margin back to Shades of Blue in third. Yorkshire-based trainer John Quinn, who took the G2 Coventry S. with the Al Shaqab purchase The Wow Signal (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) in 2014, said, “All she did was improve and she got hampered at halfway at York but was well on top at the line. She has trained lovely since and is very unassuming, but keeps pulling it out. She is terribly tough and we have real belief in her.” SIGNORA CABELLO (IRE), 126, f, 2, by Camacho (GB)1st Dam: Journalist (Ire) (GSP-Eng), by Night Shift2nd Dam: Schlefalora (GB), by Mas Media (GB)3rd Dam: Spanish Habit, by Habitat1ST GROUP WIN.
