Good Queen Bess’s second place behind Freed From Desire suggests she is a banker bet
Jockey Richard Fourie had to play second fiddle to Warren Kennedy at the Vaal on Tuesday, but it should be a different story at the Free State track on Thursday when the Cape-based rider partners the British-bred filly Good Queen Bess.
Fourie was in the saddle when Good Queen Bess finished third behind Tuscan Winter at Turffontein in March. The three-year-old went for a walk in the market, suggesting she might need the outing. Derrick David was in the saddle when Fromheretoeternity scored last time out, but red-hot Warren Kennedy is back in the irons this time. Nevertheless, Kennedy will be aware he faces a tough task giving 4.5kg to Good Queen Bess.
Another member of the Peter team, Greek Miss, would have been named the chief danger if she didn’t have such a bad draw. In the circumstances, the right horse for the swinger could be Stuart Pettigrew’s runner Bella Rosa.
