Katie Lee is set to back up in Saturday's One Thousand Guineas, a week after her brilliant win in the $1 million Two Thousand Guineas at Riccarton.

Trans Tasman trainer Graeme Rogerson who prepares the filly in partnership with his wife Debbie, said she was in fine fettle on Sunday and they would continue to monitor his progress.

"She's come through it all right, she seems good," Rogerson said.

"She is in there (for the One Thousand Guineas) now and we will just make sure she is all right. Patrick puts his horses first."

Patrick is Sir Patrick Hogan, who paid $340,000 for Katie Lee at the national yearling sales at Karaka. The daughter of Group Three winning Spectacularphantom mare Miss Jessie Jay was offered by Hallmark Stud of Waikato.

Hogan, New Zealand's most famous breeder, was on hand at Riccarton and said he would leave it to the Rogersons to decide whether she was in peak condition for the $300,000 One Thousand Guineas (1600m), which is for fillies only.

Hogan's original aim was the One Thousand Guineas but Rogerson also nominated her for the Two Thousand Guineas and the ease of her win in the Sarten Memorial on October 26 persuaded them that she should run in the $1 million race.

However, Hogan insisted that she would only run if Opie Bosson, who had been on her at her earlier starts this season, chose to ride her.

Bosson had the option on a few mounts, including the well regarded King's Ransom, but found himself swayed by her effort in the Sarten Memorial.

Rogerson, Hogan and Bosson have had a lot of success together and their judgment about Katie Lee was spot on, with Bosson steadying her after a bumping duel at the top of the straight to storm home over the top of a game Military Move.

But the person getting the kudos from them was Debbie Rogerson, who has had a long term involvement in the stable before joining in partnership with Graeme who she married last year.

"Debbie has done all the work with this filly. She deserves the credit," said Rogerson.

Katie Lee has had hoof problems and Debbie Rogerson has spent a lot of time exercising her on a water walking machine.

It was the Rogersons' first official Group One win as a training combination, but Debbie has long had a prominent role in the stable's operation and its successes.

"It's just the same as it always been," her husband said.

They are likely to have two runners in the One Thousand Guineas, with Queen Sabeel to be ridden by Michael Walker.

"She is a very good filly, so we have two very good chances. Katie Lee deserves to be favourite though."
