Blacksamssenorita

Her most recent form reads 4-2-3-1-2 across her last six runs, which is the kind of sequence that keeps a trainer interested and a fan cautiously hopeful. She broke through for her first career win at Exeter in March 2025, and trainer Joe Tizzard clearly had a plan from that moment — he pointed her straight at Uttoxeter for a qualifier linked to the Queen Boudicca, one of the more prestigious races for mares in jump racing. She won it. That is not a small thing. Going into a race like that with a specific target in mind, and delivering, says something about how Tizzard reads his horses. His Milborne Port yard has sent out 58 winners this season alone, so this is a team that knows how to place a horse correctly.

The partnership with jockey Brendan Powell is worth noting too. In ten races together, they have won 2 — a win rate of 20%, or 1 in every 5 rides. That is meaningfully better than her overall record, which suggests Powell suits her style. Tizzard has spoken warmly about how well she jumps, even if she is not the biggest horse in the field, and has flagged that she remains on a mark he considers fair — trainer shorthand for believing she can win again at the level she is currently competing at. Most of her races have come at Class 4, where she has won 2 from 7 attempts, a rate of 29%, or nearly 1 in every 3 starts at that grade.

She raced just one day ago and remains an active runner, which means this story is still being written. The Queen Boudicca remains a stated possibility, and a horse who has already won a qualifier for a big occasion is one worth watching.
