Queen Sana

The win itself came at Catterick Bridge in early September, and it remains her only success on record. Wins at Class 5 races have proved elusive: she has contested four of them without coming home in front, which tells you this horse is operating at a level where victories are hard to come by and most of the field has genuine ability. Her trainer Ollie Sangster, based near Marlborough in Wiltshire, runs a productive yard that has sent out 46 winners this season, so Queen Sana is not being neglected — she is part of a team that knows how to get horses ready to win. That she has managed only the one victory from fifteen attempts is simply the reality of racing at this level: most runners do not win often, and a horse that can finish in the placings regularly is doing an honest job even without frequent trips to the winner's enclosure. With her most recent race just a day old, Queen Sana remains active and in work, still chasing that second win.
