New Stakes-Winner for Tale of the Cat

4th September 2008

Tale of the Cat posted his tenth US stakes-winner this year when Queen of the Catsle (4m Tale of the Cat x Kiawah Queen, by Lord at War) scored an easy victory in the Daisycutter Handicap at Del Mar on Wednesday.

Sent out favourite, the Howard Zucker trained Queen of the Catsle settled in fourth position and sprinted to the line to take the five furlong event on turf by a length.

A home bred for C T Grether Inc, Queen of the Catsle has been a model of consistency with an overall record of four wins and five seconds from 11 starts with prizemoney of $191,824.

From the unraced Lord at War mare Kiawah Queen, Queen of the Catsle is the first stakes-winner in her immediate family going back through the first three dams so is a clear example of Tale of the Cat’s ability to upgrade his mares.
