SO Majestic Queen didn’t win the Group 3 Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse last Sunday but, in going down by a length and a half to the Ger Lyons-trained Ainippe, the Tracey Collins-trained mare still put up one of the best performances of her career.

There is something highly satisfying in the fact that, following her sale to Godolphin, the Kheleyf mare remained in training with Tracey Collins.
