Platinum out to prove she’s the Queen of speed

-

Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle is back with a whole host of big rides on Friday’s card at York.

What a great spectacle Friday’s Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes (3.35) promises to be! York’s big Group One sprint has everything but the clash of the generations makes it even more fascinating.

I’m riding lightning fast THE PLATINUM QUEEN, the only two-year-old in the race, who has been supplemented by her owners Middleham Park Racing after smashing the 5f track record in prestigious company at The Goodwood Festival last month.

Trainer Richard Fahey has revealed that The Platinum Queen is likely to be supplemented for the Nunthorpe Stakes later this month.

Richard Fahey’s filly will attempt to become the first juvenile to win the race since Kingsgate Native showed his older rivals a clean pair of hooves 15 years ago, so it’s an exciting challenge.

I’m under no illusion what a big task this is after being unplaced on useful two-year-old Chipotle last year, but the 27lb she gets from her older rivals could make it very interesting indeed.
