Docklands Delivers in Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes

The admirably consistent DOCKLANDS made his breakthrough at the top level as he landed the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The Harry Eustace-trained five-year-old broke slowly and was ridden with restraint, but worked his way into the contest from the three furlong marker and was sent to the front at the final furlong pole.

He faced a persistent challenge from the three-time Group 1 winner Rosallion, with the pair quickening clear, but DOCKLANDS prevailed by the minimum margin.

He was maintaining his outstanding record on the straight course at Ascot, where in seven starts he has never finished outside the first three.

As a three-year-old he won the Britannia Stakes, and returned 12 months ago to chase home Charyn in the 2024 Queen Anne Stakes, and then competed in Group 1 company across the globe through the autumn.

DOCKLANDS was sold at the 2021 September Yearling Sale from Clenagh Castle Stud to Blandford Bloodstock for £16,000.

Entries for the 2025 September Yearling Sale close on Monday 7th July.
