Atlantic City
There is something quietly stubborn about a horse that finishes in the top four in 9 of its 13 races and only manages to win one of them. That is Atlantic City's story in a nutshell — a five-year-old who clearly knows how to race, consistently putting itself in the picture, but taking until April 2026 to finally get its nose in front. That first career win came at Perth, and it remains the only one on the record: 1 win from 13 races, a win rate of around 1 in every 13 outings, or roughly 8%.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes that statistic feel less bleak than it sounds is the form surrounding it. Six recent runs have produced finishes of 3rd, 4th, 2nd, 1st, 2nd, and 2nd — read that back to front and you have a horse that has been placed in five of its last six races. That is not a horse that is struggling. That is a horse that keeps showing up, keeps running well, and has been agonisingly close more often than not. The win at Perth three months ago looks less like a fluke and more like a long-overdue reward.
Atlantic City is trained by Olly Murphy, whose yard at Wilmcote in Warwickshire has sent out 146 winners already this season — a figure that tells you this is not a small operation hoping for luck. Murphy runs a serious, high-volume yard, and a horse sitting in his string with this level of consistent form will not be going unnoticed. The fact that Atlantic City raced just one day ago suggests the team sees momentum worth pressing and is not waiting around. Whether a second win follows soon is the question, but the evidence of the last few months makes a strong case for thinking it is coming.
