Lucinda Russell's Ultima Dynasty: Can King of Answers Make It Four From Five?

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Lucinda Russell doesn’t just have a good record in the Ultima Handicap Chase. She owns it.

Three wins from the last four runnings — Corach Rambler in 2022 and 2023, then Myretown last March — puts Russell alongside David Pipe as the race’s most prolific modern trainer. But here’s the difference: Pipe’s four wins came across 14 runners over a decade. Russell has managed three from just seven runners in four years, a 43% strike rate that borders on absurd for a 24-runner handicap chase.
