Queen Earthlight

The lack of a win so far is not necessarily cause for alarm when you consider where she is trained. D K Weld's yard has sent out 29 winners already this season, which tells you this is a stable operating at a high level — horses leave that yard fit and ready to run. The fact that Queen Earthlight is still being pointed at races suggests the team believes there is more to come from her, and three races is a small sample. Plenty of horses take time to find their best form, and a yard with that kind of firepower tends to know when a horse is worth persisting with.

For now, she is one to watch rather than one to rely on — but she is young, active, and in professional hands.
