Love conquers the colts in easy Railway win The only filly in the line-up, True Love easily accounted for her three rivals in the Gain Railway Stakes, completing a double for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore. A runner-up on her first two starts, the No Nay Never bay made the breakthrough when justifying favouritism in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Again in Group 2 company this afternoon, the 104-rated victor was returned the clear market leader at 1/2 (from 4/6 in early shows). Settled in third, she took closer order and travelled best from the two-furlong pole, soon easing to the front. Asked to lengthen with a furlong to go, she readily drew clear and had five-lengths to spare at the line. A stablemate of the winner, Puerto Rico (13/2) filled the runner-up spot, while Power Blue and Learntodiscover were third and last respectively. "Obviously she's fast so we weren't sure she'd get six. I suppose we were finding out a little bit about her really," O'Brien, who took the opener with New Zealand, commented. "She was a Queen Mary winner so it was very hard for Ryan not to ride her. "We couldn't be happier with her really. "Obviously the Phoenix would be there for her as well as the Morny and the Cheveley Park. "Obviously it was a Group 2 today and she'd be ready for one of those Group 1s now." John Magnier, who owns the winner along with Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith, said: "She's a good individual and she's very well bred, it's the Galileo family. "Somebody told me that this is the first time in 30 years that a filly has won this race." The dam (Alluringly) was a Listed winner and fifth behind Enable in the Yorkshire Oaks, with the powerful owner adding: "There is a real pedigree there and a pedigree like that is like a road map, anything can happen." When it was put to him that she could be a Guineas filly, he responded:- "Fingers crossed. It's no mean feat to win the Queen Mary either. "The old breeders used to really think a lot of that race, it started a lot of families." Additional reporting by Gary Carson
