The recent form backs this up. In her last six races, she has won twice and placed four times, including that victory at Hamilton seven days ago. That kind of consistency—winning three of six and finishing in the frame in almost all of them—marks her out as a reliable performer at her level. She typically races in lower-class events, where she has won just once in eight attempts, but that does not diminish what she has achieved. Trainer Phillip Makin, based at Easingwold in North Yorkshire, has built a yard sending out nine winners this season, and Annie Edson Taylor is clearly one of his useful tools, especially when he can get her to the one track where she thrives.
What makes her genuinely interesting is not just that she wins at Hamilton, but the timing. A win last week means she is actively racing and currently in form, which is a gift for anyone following her. The question now is whether Makin will keep running her there or test her elsewhere. For a horse with five career wins and a respectable recent run, the smart move is to keep striking while the iron is hot—and at Hamilton Park, it clearly is.
