Entries and Declarations w/c 1st June 2009

Last week showed success for ONEWAY after Don't Tell Mary won the Hilary Needler Trophy (a Listed Race, at Beverley on 27th May. Below is a report on the filly's achievement, courtesy of The Racing Post:

Don't Tell Mary looked a Royal Ascot filly in the making as she powered to a scintillating success in the Hilary Needler Trophy at Beverley.

Although the great Attraction took this Listed event in 2003, it has been a while since the five-furlong contest has thrown up a really top-class winner.

But this Tom Dascombe-trained juvenile (11-4 favourite) looks the real deal judged on what was a four-length demolition of The Hermitage, who had been up with the pace throughout.

Produced at the furlong pole, her turn of foot saw her surge readily clear under Richard Kingscote to make it two wins from as many starts. Leleyf was a further two lengths back in third.

Cashmans were quick to react with an 8-1 from 25s quote for the Queen Mary at the Royal meeting, making her second-favourite behind 6-1 market leader Misheer.

Dascombe said: "I was surprised with this filly at Bath (on her debut) and I'm surprised again. I had hoped she'd win but I did not think she would win like that."

"He (Kingscote) has given her a great ride, he's brought her there and she's run away from them."

"We'll have to keep her healthy of course, but we've got to go for the Queen Mary."

Kingscote, having just his second ride at Beverley and his first winner, added: "When daylight came she picked up really good. I always felt at the furlong pole I would get past Joe (Fanning, on The Hermitage) and when she did she had a think and then went about her business and put it to bed nicely."

"It's a stiff hill here and she was staying on well at the end. Tom has always liked her. She has really grown up, everyone has worked very hard and it has paid off."
