Her Majesty’s Flag, with Omar Moreno up for the first time, was full of run down the lane to capture Sunday’s co-featured $127,750 Duchess Stakes, at Woodbine.
Trained by David Cotey for owners Dominion Bloodstock and Barry Butzer, the chestnut daughter of Midshipman-Regal Point arrived at the seven furlong ‘Poly’ sprint for sophomore fillies from a disappointing run in the grassy Alywow Stakes.
However, Her Majesty’s Flag overcame a bout with thumps following the Alywow effort and redeemed herself with an energetic stretch run to earn her first added-money score.
