VICTORY QUEEN (GB) (Kingman {GB}) is another significant runner in the Godolphin blue at the first big European meeting of the year for the operation, being a half-sister to the 2,000 Guineas hero Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). Descended from that illustrious broodmare Eastern Joy (GB) (Dubai Destination), she has major residual value as does fellow debutante Goldie Trickett (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) from the William Haggas stable. At €1.65 million the second-highest-priced yearling to sell at Goffs Orby Book 1 in 2023, Fiona Carmichael's representative is a full-sister to Saffron Beach (Ire) who captured the G1 Sun Chariot Stakes over this course and distance and the G1 Prix Rothschild.
