Quick Suzy will likely face the boys in the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh this coming weekend. The filly trained by Gavin Cromwell was a formidable winner of the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot for their American-based syndicate Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. The original plan after Ascot had been to wait until the end of next month at Cheveley Park in Newmarket, but she was added to the Phoenix in the second phase of entry, owner: “We added her in the second phase of entry, and I would say she will 95 percent running. She only has to work a little a week. ” I think she’s a filly who loves her job and it would have been a long time to wait to get to Cheveley Park. “As a Group Two winner, we didn’t see much point in going for the Lowther and if she can get the Black Group One in the first Group One of the youth season in Ireland it will be a big deal and “She’s going to do a piece either Monday or Tuesday, depending on the availability of (jockey) Gary Carroll, but right now it looks like she’s going.” Sunday’s race promises to be typically strong, and so does Burke added: “It looks like the top two of the Railway Stakes are going to go there too, Go Bears Go and Castle Star, and I imagine Go Bears Go will be the favorite – because the Railway looked at strongest two-year race of the season from time for me. “I don’t think we’ll be far behind with Ger Lyons’ Beauty Inspire.” The race is just on the way for Quick Suzy. She doesn’t have to travel this time around, and I know traveling in 2021 is a big deal – it has to be a bonus to spend the night in your own stable. ”
