'She's coming over the Queen Mary and we're really excited about her.Thoughts & 🙏 for after getting thrown off his mount today at Belmont Park in the 5th race. Every horse that kind of engaged her, she just exploded away from them. 'She has had three or four pieces of work since then and all of them have been nice and steady and beautiful breezes. 'The guy that gives the figures here really didn't want to give her a figure because he was sort of unsure thinking 'how could she run that fast?'. Ward added: 'She had about the best debut race I've ever had here at Keeneland - she won by almost 10 lengths and just scampered away from them. The former made a huge impression on her Keeneland debut and is well fancied to provide her trainer with a fifth Queen Mary success. Ward's quintet is completed by a pair of two-year-olds in Love Reigns and Seismic Spirit, who are bound for the Queen Mary and Windsor Castle Stakes respectively. 'She came back and won a Listed Stakes race here at Keeneland, so she's two from three, and I'm hoping she'll go there and run a big race.' She shot right to the lead and then faded in the last part of the race,' said Ward.

All these thoughts were going through my mind. 'I was thinking 'Oh well, Kimari is a very good horse who has finished second twice at Ascot and she's a Group One winner'. 'He eased out with a furlong to go and it almost looked like Kimari was going to keep rolling on and visually watching I was thinking 'uh oh, maybe Campanelle doesn't have it'. 'He rode Campanelle, she broke behind Kimari and he tracked her all the way over five furlongs. He won thousands of race as a jockey before he retired and he rode all the Ascot horses in their last pieces of work. He said: 'My work rider, Julio Garcia, has been with me for the last 16 years.

She will bid to make it a hat-trick in the Platinum Jubilee Stakes, with Ward particularly enthused about her chances following her final workout at Keeneland on Sunday morning. Golden Pal's stablemate Campanelle is already a dual Royal Ascot winner, having won the Queen Mary two years ago and claimed the Commonwealth Cup last year.
