The Queens M G

The Queens M G, a Thousand Words filly purchased for only $3,500 as a yearling, began her racing season at age 2 with an auspicious head victory at Keeneland on April 7, 2024. She went off at odds of 45.37-1 in that 4 ½-furlong race and was subsequently purchased privately and transferred to trainer Saffie Joseph Jr.

In her next start, The Queens M G went off as the post-time favorite in the 5 ½-furlong Astoria Stakes held at Saratoga during the Belmont Stakes Festival of Racing in June. The filly endured a rough trip early on as she was bumped twice and never threatened, finishing last of seven.

When The Queens M G returned for start no. 3 on the July 11 opening day of Saratoga’s regular summer meet, she was a longshot once again, carrying 44.50-1 post-time odds in the six-furlong Schuylerville Stakes. With first-time rider Dylan Davis aboard, the filly sat just off the early pace and took over at the top of the stretch to post an upset 2 ¾-length victory.

Three and a half weeks later, The Queens M G made her graded stakes debut in the 6 ½-furlong Grade 3 Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga and received more robust betting support as the 2.60-1 second choice in a field of seven. Dylan Davis positioned his mount in third behind dueling early leaders, and once again, The Queens M G moved to the front effortlessly in early stretch and powered clear to a dominant nine-length score.

The Queens M G was back in the winner's circle as the 3-year-old when he took the Grade 2 $200,000 Fasig-Tipton Davona Dale Stakes going one mile on the main track at Gulfstream Park on March 1, 2025. In the Davona Dale, The Queens M G topped a field of five 3-year-olds by 2 3/4 lengths under jockey Irad Ortiz Jr.

Kentucky-bred The Queens M G is out of the Grindstone mare Show Queen and is from the family of Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes runner-up and Arkansas Derby winner Bodemeister.
