The first time he won a race was in 2000, at the time at just 15 years old.

He was awarded the Lester Award in 2004 and in 2009.

Having been expected to take a lead off his pacemaker in the race, Queally made all on Frankel to win by six lengths, the widest margin of victory since Tudor Minstrel in 1947. Speaking after his first Classic win, Queally said, “”He’s made a show of them. The one thing this horse does is gallop – I didn’t want to disappoint him, I wanted him to do what he enjoys and he showed them. The first thing you think is what speed are we going, because to him it feels like a cruising canter. He quickened up and went away.” However, the plaudits for his tactics at Newmarket turned to criticism after Frankel’s next start at Ascot, in the St James’s Palace Stakes, where despite initially settling behind a strong pace set by his stablemate Rerouted, Queally sent Frankel to the lead well before the home turn and only just hung on to win. Both trainer and jockey professed their surprise publicly at the criticism, with Queally dismissing claims the horse was tiring due to the unusual race tactics. “He was starting to get a little fed up as he just does it so easily. He’s growing up all the time.” Cecil confirmed he was satisfied with the ride given by Queally, stating, “The plan was to go before the bend and he sprinted away, but now he’s getting wiser and when he thought he had the race won, he thought he’d done enough”. After the controversial tactics that led to the narrow victory at Ascot, Frankel was ridden to victory from the front in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood, though Queally played down his role in the win, saying, “He was amazing and I’m just very fortunate to be playing a small part in it.” Further Group 1 victories for Queally and Cecil followed (Timepiece in the Falmouth Stakes and the evergreen Midday winning a third Nassau at Goodwood); but in the aftermath of Frankel’s easy win in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (British Champion Mile), in which the horse lived up to his billing as the star attraction of the inaugural QIPCO British Champions Day, Queally was in no doubt about what had made his year, saying, “This is the people´s horse now. If someone asked me to sum up my season, it would be one word, Frankel.” Queally finished 2011 with 100 winners and over £2,500,000 in prize-money.

Queally rode more winners for Cecil (18) than for any other trainer in 2008 and, having seemingly been second jockey (behind Ted Durcan) to the trainer throughout the year, he was given the ride on Twice Over in the Champion Stakes, a move that appeared to herald a change in the pecking order, as the horse had been ridden by Durcan on four of his previous five starts that season.
