The QUEEN SHY(GB) Stakes
Welcome everyone to wonderful Paris. The city of love, but not for these five horses who will be giving their all to win this. It’s a very open race and all of them have a chance of winning, but let’s see if we can pick the winner.
Paris 3yo Open on Turf over 1500m (7.5F) $60,000
PP#1 51232 CYCLICAL(IRE) dreaming B Wu 5/2
ST: 9:3-2-0 M: $77,813 L5STARTS: 15621
3yo colt by GALILEO. The second favourite of the race. Making his stakes debut here, been running in restricted allowances with up and down results. Two starts this distance for a two lenght win in December last year as a two year old. The other start was a nine lenghts off sixth in NW3L allowance. Will have to be at his best to win this.
PP#2 32950 SKY KLUB(KY) zeasyguy B Lugosi 6/5
ST: 13:7-4-1 M: $264,495 L5STARTS: 11122
3yo colt by SKY MESA. First thing I have to say about this horse is WOW. Has been running in stakes races and producing the goods. Has four starts on this distance for two wins, a second and a third. The only thing I can fault about him is that he needs to produce a speed over 100. He’ll be on the pace here and will be hard to beat.
PP#3 182474 KINGHORSE(ENG) boothy R Perloff 30/1
ST: 12:2-2-2 M: $46,426 L5STARTS: 66172
3yo filly by KINGSGATE NATIVE. The long shot of the race and a filly. No one would know the history of this horse, but I do because the owner is my friend. This horse was his first two year old winner, but in that same race he won he lost his horse because it was a maiden claiming. The horse was put in a claimer race three weeks later and my friend got his horse back. Ok I guess the moral of the story is to never give up hope. He’s not in this race to make up numbers, but will have to do something very very special to win here.
PP#4 148101 FESCUE ME(IRE) mayhem H Winkler 3/1
ST: 5:1-2-1 M: $47,659 L5STARTS: 21392
3yo colt by DANEHILL DANCER. The favourite of the race and very lightly raced. Has some awesome speed, but has never raced on this distance. Is it to short for him or will he leave them ten lenghts behind. Has the ability to win here and will run a strong race.
PP#5 16611 K’S AESCHYLUS(KY) kronus J Ledwith 7/2
ST: 6:6-0-0 M: $204,120 L5STARTS: 11111
3yo colt by GHOSTZAPPER. As you can see he is yet to lose. This will be the longest race he’s ever been in, but this is some crazy form. Has been put in some carefully hand picked races, but is open for defeat here. I think he’ll get beaten here.
My picks are.
2 SKY KLUB(KY)
4 FESCUE ME(IRE)
5 K’S AESCHYLUS(KY
1 CYCLICAL(IRE
3 KINGHORSE(ENG)
