Classy Perth juvenile duo looking to settle 1-1 score with face-off in Karrakatta Plate

- 

PERTH - Yes Queen and Talkanco will renew hostilities for a third occasion when they clash in the A$500,000 (S$419,000) Group 2 Karrakatta Plate (1,200m) for two-year-olds at Ascot on April 26.

In the space of a couple of months, the classy juveniles have built up a fierce rivalry and small margins have split the pair in their three encounters.

Besides exiting the starting gates side by side, Yes Queen and Talkanco are separated by small margins in Karrakatta Plate betting.

Yes Queen struck the first blow for Dion Luciani's yard last November, defeating Talkanco by 1.4 lengths when making her debut in the Crystal Slipper Stakes (1,100m).

Prepared by brothers Dan and Ben Pearce, Talkanco squared the ledger at their most recent clash when holding out Yes Queen by a half-head in the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes (1,100m) on April 12.
