Canaria Queen

The most striking detail in her profile is her relationship with Musselburgh, the seaside track on the Firth of Forth just outside Edinburgh. That is where she recorded her first career win back in September 2023, and it is where she was last seen winning just last week. When a horse keeps coming back to the same track and keeps winning, that is not coincidence — it is a genuine affinity, and the yard who know her will be watching the Musselburgh entries carefully all summer.

Her recent form makes for encouraging reading. Two wins from her last six races is a sharp return — that is winning 1 in 3 at a stage in the season when the best horses are hitting their stride. A sequence that reads 2-1-6-1-6-4 shows a horse that can run well, go quiet, then produce again, which is exactly the kind of unpredictability that keeps punters interested and trainers patient.

She operates mainly at Class 6 level, which is the bread-and-butter end of the sport — the workmanlike races that fill out programmes at tracks like Musselburgh, Catterick, and Redcar. At that level, her record of 4 wins from 19 races, winning roughly 1 in 5, is solid rather than spectacular. But it means she is competitive and regularly involved, which matters enormously in a long season.

She is trained by Tim Easterby at Great Habton in North Yorkshire, one of the most productive yards in the country right now — 126 winners already this season is a remarkable output that speaks to a team operating with real confidence. Her most regular jockey is Duran Fentiman, who has ridden her 17 times and won on 3 of those occasions, a win rate of roughly 1 in 6. That long partnership suggests he knows exactly how to get the best from her — and given what happened at Musselburgh last week, it would be no surprise to see them lining up together there again before long.
