Thousand Words’ The Queens M G scores big in Saratoga’s Schuylerville S.

Thousand Words got his second stakes winner in dominating fashion in the $175,000 Schuylerville S. Friday at Saratoga when The Queens M G rolled home a 2 ¾-length winner in the six-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies.

Thousand Words currently ranks third on the leading freshman sires list. The Queens M G was her sire’s first winner in early April at Keeneland. Thousand Words tallied his first stakes winner on June 30 when Vodka With a Twist won the $225,000 Debutante S. at Churchill Downs.

The Queens M G, who broke from the outside post in the field of 11, avoided trouble to her inside when a horse lost her rider at the break, making her way into third in the first furlong. Continuing in the three-path around the bend, she mounted her challenge and took the lead at the top of the stretch. She out-footed her foes the rest of the trip to win with plenty in reserve. The final time was 1:11.31 on a fast track.

“Just broke well,” said jockey Dylan Davis. “Took the nice, easy trip on the outside. She got really comfortable on me and I liked what I felt, just easing her into the stretch, waiting for her to switch leads, and after that she responded for me nicely down the stretch.”

The Queens M G was bred in Kentucky by T.F. VanMeter, Samuel Hernandez, Jesus Torres, and Justin Vinalay. The dark bay filly out of the Grindstone mare Show Queen is her dam’s second foal and hails from the immediate family of Grade 1 winner and Kentucky Derby (G1) runner-up Bodemeister.

After winning her debut for Rigoberto Acevedo, The Queens M G  subsequently was purchased privately by C Two Racing Stable and Mathis Stable, who transferred her to trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. The dark bay’s overall record is 2-0-0 in three starts, with earnings of $144,380.
