Her recent form makes for interesting reading. A second-place finish four races ago is the highlight, and she has shown enough in patches to suggest she is not simply making up the numbers. But a blank run marked with a dash in her most recent outing — likely a non-finish — and a ninth-place effort two races before that point to a horse who can be frustratingly inconsistent. She raced just yesterday, so she is very much still active and in the mix.
At 10 years old, Queen Kulina is a veteran by any standard. Most horses at this age are winding down, so the fact that trainer Eoin Griffin is still running her regularly says something — either she is holding her condition well, or there is a belief in the yard that the right opportunity has not quite come along yet. Griffin, based in Slieverue, Co Kilkenny, has sent out 8 winners this season, so this is not a yard without ambition. Whether Queen Kulina can add to that tally remains to be seen, but at 0 wins from 8 career races, she would need to do something she has never managed before.
