2YO Queen Of Hawaii on top in the Gr.3 Flame Of Tara Stakes

Kingman filly Queen Of Hawaii stepped up from her maiden win last month to take the gr.3 Flame Of Tara Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday (30th August).

Taken from the Thoroughbred Daily News, 31st August 2025, by Tom Frary:

Sent off the 100-30 second favourite for the mile contest, the Joseph O'Brien-trained €250,000 Goffs Orby Book 1 purchase swamped Moments Of Joy approaching the final furlong en route to a two and a quarter-length success.

"She was very well bought by Philip Antonacci at Goffs and won her maiden well. We thought she was a smart filly and you come here to find out," the winning trainer said.

"She looks very smart and you'd have to be excited about her. She went through the line strong and Dylan [Browne McMonagle] said that she always feels like there is more in the locker. I'd imagine that she'll either go for the Goffs Million or Fillies Mile in Newmarket," he added. "We could also look at the Moyglare. When she won her maiden at a mile, we were looking at coming back to seven and having a look at the Goffs Million. We'll see how she pulls up and discuss it with Philip and see. She'll be heading for a Group 1 if it's not the Million."
