+QUEEN OF SICILY (f, 2, Cape Cross {Ire}–Jealous Again {GSW-Eng & GSP-US, $133,032}, by Trippi), sent off the 11-10 favorite, broke well and raced freely behind the early pace before closing to lead with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining. Sent clear, the homebred was kept up to her work to score by 2 3/4 lengths from Twin Falls (Ire) (Zebedee {GB}). “She had been working very well and it suggested that she should be up to winning first time,” jockey Kevin Manning said. “I think she's a filly we'll hear plenty of.” Queen of Sicily is out of G2 Queen Mary S. winner Jealous Again, who was among the first winners for trainer Wesley Ward at Royal Ascot. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $11,777. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
