Queally counting his blessings

More an established star now rather than a name for the future, Tom Queally still could not believe his luck as he managed to top his 2009 Group One tally this year.

Five wins at the highest level was something to be really proud of in 2009 — but to go one better than that in 2010 was something very special and most unexpected.

His super six wins included two on the same day at Newmarket in October, truly an afternoon to savour as he won the Dewhurst Stakes on his main Classic prospect Frankel, followed by back-to-back victories in the Champion Stakes on his trusted old friend Twice Over.
