Gosden and Dettori take out Hardwicke with Fanny Logan                           |4|                                                       Saturday, June 20, 2020

Gosden and Dettori take out
Hardwicke with Fanny Logan
    After teaming up to take out the Gold Cup (Gr 1, 2m 4f ) with Stradivarius
(Sea The Stars) on Thursday, John Gosden and Frankie Dettori returned
to Royal Ascot yesterday to land another feature race with the progeny of
Sea The Stars (Cape Cross), this time with Fanny Logan in the Hardwicke
Stakes (Gr 2, 1m 4f ).
    The four-year-old took advantage of a two-pound weight allowance
against the rest of the field, being the only mare in the race, and stormed
past her rivals to win by two and a half lengths.
    Alounak (Camelot) was second with Defoe (Dalakhani) coming home
a further length and three-quarters back in third.
    Gosden, who was celebrating his fifth win of the week, said he was
confident Fanny Logan could run a big race after she finished second in
the Pinnacle Stakes (Gr 2, 1m 2f ) at Haydock last start.
                                                                                       Fanny Logan                                                        RACING POST
    "It wasn't a fluke,” the champion trainer said. “She went up to Haydock,
and I asked Rab Havlin (jockey) to drop her out as she can be keen.                    position was occupied by Communique, who went a good clip. He has
    “She ran a lovely race to be second and had a very good blow, so we                ridden her coolly and sat out the back and swept down the outside, and

Queen Mary Stakes
    The Queen Mary Stakes (Gr 2, 5f ) is the
premier Royal Ascot contest for the two-year-
old fillies.
    American Wesley Ward has won this
race three times with Jealous Again (Trippi),
Acapulco (Scat Daddy) and Lady Aurelia (Scat
Daddy) and he will look to add to his record
with Campanelle (Kodiac) and Royal Approval
(Tiznow).
    Campanelle, who races in the same
Stonestreet silks as Lady Aurelia, looks the
better of the two having won on debut at
Gulfstream Park. The time was quick and she
does look to have plenty of speed.

St James’s Palace Stakes
    The St James’s Palace Stakes (Gr 1, 1m)
usually acts as a pathway from the Classics -
particularly the 2000 Guineas (Gr 1, 1m) and the
Irish 2000 Guineas (Gr 1, 1m) - to the open-age
races later in the season, like the Sussex Stakes
(Gr 1, 1m) and the Juddmonte International (Gr
1, 1m 2f ).
    It will still hold that position this year,
but it comes up much sooner after the two
Guineas than usual and it could still provide
an opportunity for horses to head towards the
Epsom Derby (Gr 1, 1m 4f ) should they wish.
    In the last 10 years, winners have included
Circus      Maximus   (Galileo),   Barney    Roy
(Excelebration), Gleneagles (Galileo), Kingman
(Invincible Spirit), Dawn Approach (New
