Rae Considers Prom Queen For Melbourne Campaign
Multiple Stakes-winning filly Prom Queen will make her third and final start in her Queensland campaign in the Singapore Airlines QTIS 3YO Plate (1350m) at Doomben under New Zealander Mark du Plessis.
Then she heads back to New Zealand for a spell ahead of spring racing where a Melbourne campaign could beckon said co-trainer Kenny Rae.
Rae, who trains in partnership with wife Lisa and their daughter Krystal Williams, was very happy with her two previous runs in the sunshine state, and noted the high regard jockey Craig Williams has for the diminutive filly after his runner-up ride on her.
"They were both good runs," Rae said. "When she ran second, Craig Williams said to bring her to Melbourne, she's good enough to be in Melbourne. I rang him the other day and he said 'Bring her to Melbourne in the spring and I'll be riding her'.
