Avandra
Nineteen races, zero wins. That is the stark reality of Avandra's career so far, and yet this six-year-old keeps turning up, which tells you something about the patience of the team at
P J Rothwell's yard in Tinahely, Co Wicklow. A place here and there — two in total across those 19 races — is the best it has managed, meaning it has finished in the top three just over one in every ten times it has lined up. That is a tough record to look at.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form does not offer much encouragement either. In its last six races, Avandra has finished twelfth twice, seventh once, and second once, with two non-completions mixed in. The one bright spot is that second-place finish, which at least shows it can get competitive on its day. But days like that have been rare.
Simon Torrens has partnered Avandra five times without finding the winner's enclosure together — no wins from five rides — so that particular combination has yet to click. Rothwell's yard is clearly capable, having sent out 35 winners already this season, which makes Avandra something of an outlier in a generally productive operation. The horse raced just yesterday and remains in active training, so the team have not given up on finding a race it can win. Whether that day comes remains the open question.
