Kingston Queen

The wins themselves arrived in a tight, purposeful burst. She got off the mark at Sedgefield on Boxing Day 2024, then stepped straight up to win a Class 1 at Market Rasen less than a month later, in January 2025. She then did it again at Warwick in February 2026. That Warwick win is the most recent, eight weeks ago, and it confirms she is a horse who can be trusted when the occasion demands it. In her last six races the form reads 9-8-1-–-3-1, which shows she has had her quiet days, but when she fires she fires at exactly the right moments.

She is trained by David Pipe, whose yard in Nicholashayne, Somerset, has sent out 35 winners this season — a yard in proper form. Jack Tudor has ridden her most often, partnering her in seven of her eleven races, though they have clicked for one win together so far, winning roughly 1 in every 7 rides. That is a combination still searching for its best, even as the horse herself has clearly found top gear.

Across her career she has won 4 races and finished placed in 8 others from 11 attempts — that means she has come away with something to show in all but three of her races. A win rate of 36%, or roughly 4 in every 11 races, is genuinely good in a sport where even talented horses often win far less frequently. Kingston Queen is active right now, and on the basis of what she has shown at the top level, she is the kind of horse worth keeping a close eye on.
