A 31st TDN Rising Star For Kingman

[Wandering Eyes]

Ascot's Naas Racecourse Royal Ascot Trials Day British EBF Fillies' S. offers the G1 Coronation S. hopefuls a chance to get acquainted with the track and Normandie Stud's Queen For You (Ire) (Kingman {GB}–Fallen For You {GB}, by Dansili {GB}) could be one for that contest after earning TDN Rising Star status on Wednesday. Debuting in the mile encounter, the John and Thady Gosden-trained daughter of the 2012 Coronation heroine whose half-siblings include the multiple group winner Glorious Journey (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and who is a full-sister to the listed scorer Love Is You (Ire) recovered from a tardy start to find cover behind the leaders in fifth after the initial stages.

Looming large on the stands' side at the quarter-mile marker, the 4-1 chance quickened smartly to lead approaching the final furlong and was ridden out by Robert Havlin in the closing stages to account for Copy Artist (GB) (No Nay Never) by two lengths. “This filly is still raw, but she has talent,” winning rider Rab Havlin said. “She quickened up well, she'll have learnt plenty and she can only come forward for the run.”

Queen For You, amazingly the 31st TDN Rising Star for her sire, whose best in that category so far are Persian King (Ire) and Palace Pier (GB), is the sixth of eight foals and fourth scorer produced by Fallen For You, who is herself a daughter of the Listed Silver Tophy scorer and multiple group-placed Fallen Star (GB) (Brief Truce). She is also kin to the unraced 2-year-old filly Fight For You (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) and a yearling colt by Lope De Vega (Ire).

 

Very taking debut!
