Queen's Trust (GB)

Queen's Trust came into the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf with only a maiden win to her credit, but she had been chasing and finishing close to some very good female turf specialists. The 3-year-old British filly by Dansili won in her first out in 2015 at Kempton Park. She had five starts in 2016, and made a big run to finish second to multiple stakes winner Minding in the Group 1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood July 30. She then ran third behind Seventh Heaven and last year’s Breeders’ Cup champion Found in the G1 Darley Yorkshire Oaks in August, and barely missed being second in the G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares Stake Oct. 15 at Ascot. Her trainer, Sir Michael Stoute, knows how to prep for the Breeders’ Cup, having sent out six winners, the most recent being Dank in the 2013 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf. Stoute also has two seconds and four thirds in Breeders’ Cup championship races.
