Prix Royal-Oak
Indian Queen earned a reputation for winning over long distances. She began her career in France and won a victory at Cagnes-sur-Mer. She was the winner of a number of Group class races including a dead heat with Braashee in the Prix Royal-Oak at Longchamp in 1990, and gained outright victory, as a rank outsider at 25-1, in the 1991 Ascot Gold Cup whilst in foal to Night Shift. On both occasions she was ridden by Walter Swinburn. She beat Arzanni ridden by Frankie Dettori in a thrilling finish to claim her Gold Cup triumph.
