Langs looking to lash Lowther rivals
Queen Mary heroine Langs Lash will not be seen in action again until she steps up in trip for a crack at the Jaguar Cars Lowther Stakes at York on August 21.
Trained by Mick Quinlan, the daughter of Noverre showed bags of speed and real tenacity to fend off Shyrl by a neck over five furlongs at the Royal meeting.
Explaining future plans, assistant trainer Noel Quinlan said: “She came out of Ascot very, very well.
“We’re absolutely over the moon with her but she definitely won’t run again now until the Lowther as we’re going to go quietly with her for a month or so.
“We could have rushed her back for the Cherry Hinton at Newmarket next week but we weren’t tempted, we want her to strengthen up and develop.
“I haven’t got any worries about the six furlongs, especially at York, as she was doing all her best work at the end when she was behind Bahamian Babe over five furlongs there before.”
Although Langs Lash was returned at a big price in the Queen Mary, Quinlan was far from surprised she proved smart enough to win the Group Two.
“She shouldn’t have been 25-1 at Ascot as I didn’t think Bahamian Babe could beat us again after they ran at York the time before,” he added.
“Our filly was only having her second run then and she learned nothing when she won at Folkestone on her debut, whereas Michael Bell’s filly had much more experience.
“She was not drawn well either and was green at York so the only real surprise was that she was 25-1 at Ascot. By the time she went there the penny had completely dropped.”
