QUEEN TO GO FOR SHOOTOUT
QUEEN Lauryn has pulled up magnificently from her Group 1 Sapphire Crown victory at Sandown last Thursday night and will be kept in work. She is to be nominated for the Group 3 Sandown Shootout next Thursday.
Fleur Brett, wife of trainer Tony, said today discussions about Queen Lauryn's future depended on if she makes milk during her three-month season. But she said the bitch had shown no indications of that happening and Queen Lauryn would press on in her current campaign.
The daughter of Token Prince-Cheeky Sprite took her record to 17 wins from 25 starts and $127,000 in stakes with her all-the-way Sapphire Crown victory.
Brett had won the same race with his Hall of Famer Bogie Leigh.
Last week could not have been better for the Brett household. On Tuesday Fleur and Tony had their first daughter, Zoe Grace, and on Thursday it was Fleur's 34th birthday. That night Queen Lauryn won the Sapphire Crown.
Queen Lauryn remained in Melbourne after the Sapphire Crown with trainer Ron Hood and Tony had spoken to him on Friday. "Ron said she pulled up magnificently," said Fleur.
