Bob
and Sandra Peters have had phenomenal success with their homebreds including current superstar mare Arcadia Queen, but it
was a filly they purchased from Inglis Easter that caught our eye as a ‘One
to Watch’ on Wednesday at Belmont.
Tuscan Queen as a yearling
Three year-old Fastnet Rock filly Tuscan Queen was a hot favourite on debut in
the restricted race over 1300 metres and duly saluted for Grant and Alana
Williams, who put the polish on Arcadia Queen before she came across to join
the Chris Waller stable.
A $300,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Coolmore draft for Belmont
Bloodstock on behalf of Mr and Mrs Peters, Tuscan Queen is the third winner
from three foals to race from Group III winning Zabeel mare Tavarnelle.
Bred by the Crismale family’s Matrix Bloodstock, Tuscan Queen keeps the record
perfect for Tavarnelle, who has a yearling filly by American Pharoah (USA).
