Trainer Darwin Banach (right) in the winner’s circle celebrating a special victory by Samurai Queen on June 19 at Woodbine Racetrack.
He had heard all the stories about the ornery Ontario-bred filly, but Darwin Banach didn t think twice when he put in a claim on her.
Samurai Queen, a 4-year-old dark bay daughter of First Samurai, had already built up a reputation on the Woodbine backstretch, and it wasn t a flattering one.
Of all the words used to describe the filly, “difficult” was perhaps the most often-used term attached to her name.
But for all of her quirks, bad habits and poor manners, Samurai Queen had the one quality Banach was looking for when it came to adding a horse to his barn.
