Quick Suzy Will Skip Cheveley Park in Favour of Dundalk

Group 2 heroine Quick Suzy (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}), who won the G2 Queen Mary S. at Royal Ascot, will not start in the Sept. 25 G1 Cheveley Park S. and instead target an Oct. 1 listed event at Dundalk prior to a run in the GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar in November. Purchased privately by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners prior to her Royal Ascot heroics, the filly was second in the May 16 G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint S. and, in her only race since Royal Ascot, ran ninth in the G1 Prix Morny in testing conditions she did not care for on Aug. 22.

“Quick Suzy's main objective this year is the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint,” said Eclipse spokesman Joseph Burke of the Gavin Cromwell-trained filly. “That has always been her main target–that's what she was purchased to do.

“With that in mind, Gavin suggested we have changed her prep race and she's going to go for a five-furlong listed race at Dundalk on Oct. 1.

“She's had her three runs in Ireland, then she travelled to England for a run and then she travelled to France.

“Travel is a little bit more difficult than it used to be. If we were to go for the Cheveley Park, she'd go across on the boat and then it's six hours in a box down to Newmarket, run in a Group One and then six hours back to the boat again before being put on a flight to America a few weeks later. We also don't know what ground we'll encounter there, whereas at Dundalk it's a given. We all agreed that on balance, it is the right move with a view to having her peak at Del Mar.”

Next Targets Named For Quick Suzy

Royal Ascot winner Quick Suzy (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}) is bound for the G1 Cheveley Park S. on Sept. 25, with the Breeders' Cup at Del Mar in November the long term aim. Acquired privately with the help of Joseph Burke by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners prior to her second in the May 16 G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint S., she will remain with trainer Gavin Cromwell. Second at first asking at Tipperary in April, the G2 Queen Mary S. heroine was first past the post at The Curragh on May 3 prior to the Fillies Sprint S.

“Now she's won a Group 2 there's not much point heading for something like the Lowther with a penalty so the Cheveley Park looks the next logical race, she's had four runs already,” said Burke. “I told Gavin after Naas that after Ascot she'd probably be heading to America, but Aron [Wellman of Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners] said they are doing such a good job there was no reason to take her away from Gavin–which I was delighted to hear.

“After the Cheveley Park there's then five weeks until the Breeders' Cup, where she's got five weeks in between, so it fits in nicely and she'll run in the Juvenile Sprint Turf.”

Breakthrough For Profitable As Quick Suzy Wins the Queen Mary

As much as ever, Wednesday's G2 Queen Mary S. was all about speed from pillar-to-post and there was none slicker than Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners' aptly-named Quick Suzy (Ire) who provided her first-season sire Profitable (Ire) with a landmark first black-type winner. Runner-up in the six-furlong G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint S. at Naas last time May 16, the Gavin Cromwell-trained bay who was another drawn closest to the stand's rail was tanking along early alongside the 9-4 favourite Twilight Gleaming (Ire) (National Defense {GB}) with Artos (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in front on the far side. Inside the final two furlongs, it was between the stand's-rail runners and the 8-1 shot Quick Suzy gradually asserted from the furlong pole under Gary Carroll to subdue Twilight Gleaming by 1 1/4 lengths. The 50-1 closer Cheerupsleepyjean (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) was the eye-catcher from rear, finishing 1 3/4 lengths away in third and a neck in front of the trail-blazing Artos. “Quick Suzy–she's that and everything else,” the winning rider said. “It was very straightforward. I thought the American horse would go a real good gallop and I'd be chasing, but I was actually close to her and every step of the way I was waiting and waiting. Inside the two, she got maybe half a length on me but I chased her down and outbattled her to the line. She went quick last time over six on slow ground, as she has so much natural speed, but burnt off in the last 100 yards and ran out of petrol. She is a very good filly and really got to the line well today.”

Runner-up on debut to the impressive Elliptic (Ire) (Caravaggio) over five furlongs at Tipperary on debut Apr. 20, Quick Suzy bounced out of that effort to record a 5 1/2-length success over an extra furlong at The Curragh May 3 before being worn down late by Hermana Estrella (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) in the Fillies Sprint. Gavin Cromwell, who is best known as a jumps trainer of note having saddled the winners of the Champion Hurdle, Stayers' Hurdle and Spa Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, was starstruck. “It's unbelievable, fantastic–it's such an occasion,” he said. “I was very confident she'd run a big race, but didn't know where she laid with the English and American horses.”

Quick Suzy's dam Snooze (Ire) (Marju {Ire}), who also has a yearling full-brother to the winner, is a half to Aria Di Festa (Ire) (Orpen) who was second in the G3 Premio Regina Elena and third in the G2 Prix de Sandringham before producing the G3 Premio Primi Passi winner and G2 Gran Criterium runner-up Aria Importante (GB) (Twilight Son {GB}). The winner shares her multiple listed-placed second dam Alarme Belle (GB) (Warning {GB}) with the listed winner and G2 Prix de Sandringham runner-up Mixed Intention (Ire) (Elusive City), who is herself the dam of this month's G1 Prix du Jockey Club third Millebosc (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}). This is also the family of the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix d'Ispahan heroine Danseuse du Soir (Ire) (Thatching {Ire}), who accounts for the G1 Gran Criterium winner Scintillo (GB) (Fantastic Light).
