The Can Can Queen

Her sole victory came at Ripon on 17 May, and that remains her only success in the three months since. Looking at her recent form, she ran fifth most recently, then fifth again before that, with a third-place finish sandwiched between. The win at Ripon suggests she has the ability to strike, but consistency has eluded her so far. She is being trained by Charlie Johnston at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, a yard in excellent form this season with 131 winners to its name—the kind of operation that knows how to get the best out of young horses. That she is still racing regularly, having run just yesterday, shows the yard is keeping her active and looking for the right opportunities to bring home another victory.
