Skillfully driven by Peter Wrenn, Queen’s Reign left alertly and then charged home to score in 1:49.2, recording a new lifetime mark by nearly three seconds.

Wrenn sent Queen’s Reign away from the gate firing but yielded the lead to the heavily-favored Rollin Rosie and Trace Tetrick through the opening quarter in :26.1. It’s Corona Time and Ricky Macomber Jr. grabbed a pocket seat while Queen’s Reign sat third. Rollin Rosie pressed on and went uncontested as she clicked off fractions of :53.4 and 1:21.3.

When the field turned for home, Rollin Rosie was still on top but bracing for the cavalry charge to the wire. Just as Rollin Rosie began to tire on the front, Queen’s Reign was winding up along the rail. Using a :27.1 closing quarter, Wrenn steered Queen’s Reign up the passing lane and she found a closing kick to get the win by 1-1/4 lengths over a hard-charging Sleazy Mama and Michael Oosting. Rollin Rosie dug in gamely and held on for third. Dismissed at odds of 46-1, Queen’s Reign returned $94.20 at the betting windows.

Trained by Ernie Gaskin, Queen’s Reign recorded her second win of the season from five starts. The homebred daughter of JK Endofanera—Queen’s Gold is owned by Watermark Farm LLC. With the victory, Queen’s Reign pushed her lifetime bankroll to $237,460 for her connections.
