La Vish

There is something quietly encouraging about La Vish's record so far. In six races, this five-year-old has won once and finished in the frame four times — that is a result of some kind in five of six outings, which tells you this is a horse that tends to show up and compete rather than disappear out the back.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The win came at Warwick on 26 March 2026, and it remains the career highlight to date. Eight weeks on, that victory still stands as the only time La Vish has reached the winner's enclosure, giving a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 races (17%). That is a modest return, but the four placed efforts soften the picture considerably — this is a horse that finds a way to be involved more often than not.

The recent form string of 5-3-1-3-3-8 is worth a closer look. Read from right to left — oldest to most recent — you can see a horse that came from an unplaced run, put together three consecutive third-place finishes, broke through to win, and then followed up with another third just days ago. That latest third, recorded only yesterday, shows La Vish is in the middle of an active spell and running consistently.

La Vish is trained by Sarah Hollinshead at her yard in Upper Longdon, Staffordshire. It has been a quiet season for the stable so far with just one winner sent out, and that winner is La Vish. For a smaller yard, having your best horse in form and racing regularly is exactly the position you want to be in as the season builds.
