First for Gregorian

Queen Jo Jo is the first Group winner for Gregorian after winning the Gr3 Summer Fillies’ Stakes (6f) at York.

Last passing halfway, Queen Jo Jo came with a flying finish almost alone on the stands side to sweep home and defeat Breathtaking Look (Bated Breath) by a neck with Sunday Star (Kodiac) third in the big field.

Queen Jo Jo first sold for 11,000 as a Goffs UK yearling before selling for 68,000gns as a Tattersalls Breeze-Up and has now won three of her 10 starts with four placings.

She is a three-quarter sister to Listed placed Gypsy Spirit (Gregorian) and a half-sister to three winners.

Her dam River Song (Siphon) was listed placed in North America and a half-sister to three-time Gr2 winner Allied Forces (Miswaki) whose wins included the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Gr2 Hungerford Stakes at Newbury winner Gregorian (Clodovil) currently has 45 winners from 93 runners and  is advertised at €6000 at Rathasker Stud, Ireland, in 2020.
