Babatunde
Babatunde is a 6-year-old horse who has yet to find the winner's circle after six career races, finishing second or third twice but never crossing the line first. His record stands at 0 wins and 2 places from 6 attempts — a tough return on the track that suggests he is better suited to smaller fields or easier conditions than he has faced so far. When he has stepped up to Class 4 company, the top tier of racing he has tackled, the horse has managed nothing better than a place in three attempts, which tells you where his level likely sits.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out most is the gap in his racing calendar. Babatunde last ran 395 days ago — nearly thirteen months — which is a long spell away for any horse. That kind of absence raises questions about what he has been doing since, whether through injury, wind troubles, or simply being given time. Coming back after so long is always a test of nerve and fitness, especially for a horse without a win to his name. Richard Mitford-Slade's yard has been quiet this season, sending out just two winners so far, so there is no sense of a hot hand bringing him back to the track. If Babatunde does race again, he will be stepping out as a rustier version of an already inconsistent performer — and that may work against him.
