Queenie St Clair

The first career win came at Naas in October 2023, and progress since then has been gradual. But the most recent victory, at Kelso just four weeks ago on 21 March 2026, is the latest proof that something has shifted. Queenie St Clair raced again just yesterday, which tells you the team at Lambourn are keeping her busy while the confidence is high — and with good reason.

Nick Scholfield's Lambourn yard has sent out 19 winners already this season, so this is a stable in good form, and Queenie St Clair is one of the horses carrying that momentum. The regular partnership with Colin Keane has produced 1 win from 9 races together — not a spectacular ratio on paper, but form figures of 6-1-–-1-3-1 in the last six outings suggest the whole operation is trending upward regardless of who is in the saddle.

What the stats reveal about where this horse actually thrives is worth paying attention to. On slightly soft, wet ground she has won 2 from 4 races — that is a 50% win rate, remarkable by any standard, and a strong hint that conditions matter a great deal. Similarly, at Class 4 level — the solid, competitive middle ground of British racing — she has again won 2 from 4. She is not a horse trying to punch above her weight; she is a horse finding exactly the right level and making the most of it. Her best distances sit between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, the longer end of the spectrum where stamina and a horse's willingness to keep grinding become just as important as pure speed. Queenie St Clair, right now, looks very willing indeed.
