A review from the rest of Saturday's action at Newbury as Duke Of Bronte ran out a 100/1 winner of the one-mile maiden.
Rod Millman will have to go back to the drawing board with Duke Of Bronte after he ran out a shock 100-1 winner of the second division of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Maiden Stakes at Newbury.
Having been well held in both his previous two starts the Mount Nelson gelding stayed on well to defeat Musical Terms by two lengths and deny the Queen a double, after Her Majesty had taken the opening division with William Haggas' Call To Mind.
The Cullompton handler said: "It was a nice surprise. He is a half-brother to Taws, who was second in the Queen Alexandra, and we thought he was a staying handicap horse.
"He is a nice horse and he has had two races, obviously he is fit from those and is up against first-time-out horses. I was hoping he would run well then try and get a little handicap, but maybe we will have to change plans now."
Crowds flocked around the winner's enclosure at Newbury in a scene more familiar with Royal Ascot after Call To Mind had gifted the Queen a late birthday present with victory in the opening division of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Maiden Stakes.
Although failing to see her silks carried to glory at the track 24 hours earlier on her 91st birthday, Her Majesty enjoyed a much more successful time on her return to the Berkshire course after the three-year-old made his debut a winning one in the mile event.
Despite being one of the first to come under pressure, the William Haggas-trained son of Galileo - who holds entries in both the Dante and Derby - warmed to the task to come through runners and oblige by a neck under Ryan Moore.
Haggas said: "He did very well and I am sure he will improve for a step up in trip. They went no gallop and it looked like he was struggling at halfway, but he came home well.
"I think the Dante might be a bit too early for him. I think we will have to regroup and see where we go, as winning a maiden first time out throws you immediately into a better-class race.
"We don't get many chances to have the Queen at the races. For me personally it's a great thrill to win a race for her when she is present."
The decision to put retirement plans on hold for Signe (9-4 fav) looks to be a worthwhile decision after she made it three wins from as many starts to complete a double for Haggas when getting up by a nose in the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire Handicap.
Haggas said: "She had her problems as a two-year-old and she had problems last year. We came close to retiring her, but we always quite liked her and we felt it was worth a shot.
"She deserves a step up in trip and grade. We might start that off in the Pinnacle Stakes at the end of May."
John Gosden immediately pointed to Royal Ascot for Face The Facts after he went one better than his previous two starts in the Carter Jonas Maiden Stakes.
Racing prominently throughout, the Dettori-ridden 7-2 shot stuck on tenaciously to score by three-quarters of a length.
The victory completed a double for Dettori having earlier teamed up with Gosden to land the Fred Darling with Dabyah, while it marked the final leg of a treble for the Newmarket handler after Muntahaa in the John Porter.
Gosden said: "We will look at the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. He stays well and is a genuine sole. If we find a race at a decent track over a mile and a half we will run him. He learnt a lot today. He had the benefit of a run at Leicester and that showed there I think."
