Classic and three-time Group One-winning sire, American Post, registered his first stakes winner from his first crop yesterday when Queen America ran out a facile winner of the Listed Prix des Jouvenceaux et des Jouvencelles over seven furlongs at Vichy.

A winner over course and distance eight days previously Queen America backed up to post a win which assures her of a bid in better company later in the season. Trained by Robert Collet who owns the filly with breeder Mme Christian Wingtans, Queen America has now landed her second victory from four career starts.

American Post, now seven, was trained by Criquette Head-Maarek for Khalid Abdullah for whom he won the Gr.1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère, Gr.1 Racing Post Trophy and the Gr.1 French 2,000 Guineas.

Following a disappointing run in the 2004 Gr.1 Prix du Moulin he was retired to the Haras d’Etreham in Normandy where he stands at a fee of €7,000.
