Undefeated after two career start Ladyll Trainer Patrick Biancone gave the confidence that the grey two-year-old filly was ready to take on Royal Ascott.
“I think we have a horse worthy of it to do that,” Biancone said Wednesday.
Rennil won the verse in Group 2 Queen Mary On May 10th, he met Royal Ascott with a 3/4-long 3/4-long romp at Gulfstream Park at Royal Palm’s Boy Phillies.
Rainster’s daughter made her debut at Keeneland on April 6th, winning a length victory in a special heavy race for the 4 1/2 furlong maiden. With the filling of a boy in Royal Palm in 5 Furlong, she encouraged a fast pace before taking over and drawing, and was drawn to the invisibility, so Rennil went to the grass in a big way to win a trip to England.
“She’s doing well. Everything’s going perfectly. She leaves 10th for Newmarket and will run in Ascott on June 18th,” Biancone said.
Rennil returned to the Working tab at Palm Meadows, a Gulfstream satellite training facility in Palm Beach County on Friday.
Owned by Amy Dunn, Caitlyn Dunn, Brenda Miley, Jean Wilkinson, Hoffman Family Racing, Quiet Lake Farm, Maury Harrington and Christopher Harrington, Renil will not be accompanied by a stable squire in the Royal Ascott.
Squire, Rainster’s son, who first asked at Gulfstream on April 18th, finished second in the Royal Palm Juvenile on May 10th.
“Squire, we gave him a break. He wasn’t mentally mature enough to go to Ascott,” Biancone said. “He went back to the farm and relaxed a little over a month, then he returned after a month.”
The son of a majestic warrior who stands up against the Pleasant Acres stallion in Moriston, Florida, has closed his career in the 2020 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint and closed his third place finish in the 2021 Gulf Stream Park Turf Sprint (G3). Biancone said that all the descendants of Leinster have one thing in common.
“They’re all fast,” he said.
The Biancone-trained Emerald Ember, who lost his recent debut with the nose, and Jose Dangelo-trained monster, who graduated from his turf debut at Arrindel’s nine-length lengths last week, were also sired to the first pack of Rainsters.
