Queenie St Clair in focus as new details emerge

First-season trainer Nick Scholfield landed the most valuable success of his career to date when Queenie St Clair caused a 20-1 surprise in the BetWright Herring Queen Series Final Mares' Novices' Handicap Hurdle at Kelso. League coverage adds The race had attracted Nicky Henderson's hot favourite Khrisma, who had been aimed at the Cheltenham Festival's County Hurdle only to miss the cut., With almost £100,000 in prize-money on offer. Team-side reporting suggests She was still bang in contention when making a bad blunder at the second last and she was pulled up soon following, leaving Queenie St Clair in front to fight it out with Dan Skelton's First. Post-game reporting indicates She fended off her challenger to win by a length with the pair five lengths clear of Madame La Papillon back in third., With 5lb conditional jockey Freddie Keighley seen to great effect. League coverage adds It's a magic day, to be honest, reported Scholfield. Team-side reporting suggests It's been a long-term plan since she won at Wincanton on Boxing Day and we got her qualified at Newbury.
