Order Of St George Mare Stays Perfect For Skelton

Queensworthy (5m Order Of St George – Queens Wild, by Westerner) made it two from two for Dan Skelton when making a winning hurdle debut at Market Rasen.

Runner-up on her sole start between the flags for Denis Murphy, the Order Of St George mare made a successful start under rules when landing a mares’ bumper last month. Sent off favourite to follow up on Monday, she raced prominently throughout under Harry Skelton and asserted at the second last. Pushed along after the final flight, she drew clear to score by four lengths, eased down.

Owned by Alan Harte, the first crop daughter of Order Of St Georgewas bred by Robert Guiry out of his homebred Grade 3 winner Queens Wild (Westerner).
