Little Queenie

The most interesting number attached to Little Queenie is what happens when Robert Whearty is in the saddle. In 20 races together, he has ridden her to 6 wins — that is 30%, or nearly 1 win in every 3 races. For context, her overall win rate across all riders is 18%, so the difference when Whearty partners her is stark. Some horses simply click with a particular jockey, and this pairing is a good example of that.

She also has a clear preference for normal ground conditions — not too wet, not too dry. On a standard surface, she has won 5 of her 16 races, which is 31%. That is a meaningful edge, and it is worth keeping in mind when her name appears in a racecard.

Her recent form shows a win in December 2025 followed by a fourth, then two thirds, and then a blank and another blank in her last two outings. That trailing off is worth noting, but she raced just yesterday, so she is very much an active, working racehorse. Paul W Flynn's yard has sent out 22 winners this season, which is a solid operation — this is not a horse quietly forgotten at the back of a stable. With 23 places from 44 races alongside those 8 wins, Little Queenie has finished in the first three nearly 70% of the time, which means she is rarely far away. She may not always win, but she tends to make a race of it.
