Queens Venture

Her most recent victory came in a Class 2 race at Newton Abbot on 30 August 2025, which was a significant step up in quality and shows she can handle top-level company when conditions suit her. Trained by D Summersby at St. Giles-on-the-Heath in Devon, Queens Venture has thrived under her the yard' patient handling. The yard has sent out five winners this season, a modest but solid return that reflects the kind of consistency that builds a good training operation.

The real story, though, is the partnership between Queens Venture and Harry Skelton. The jockey has ridden her seven times and won three of those races — a 43 per cent win rate that stands out sharply against her overall record. When Skelton gets the leg up, Queens Venture performs at nearly double her usual level. That kind of synergy between horse and rider is rare enough to matter. Her form over the last six races reads 5-2-2-3-1 (most recent first), showing recent consistency around the places and a win just yesterday, which suggests she is still sharp and still capable of surprising at the right track and the right conditions. At Class 4 level, her usual home, she has won just one from seven races and struggles to dominate — but at the highest level, she has already proved she belongs.
