Lam Yai
Lam Yai is a three-year-old with genuine talent at the highest level but a frustratingly inconsistent track record. The horse has won 2 of its 9 races — a respectable 22% win rate — but the path to those victories has been rocky. After a first career win at Carlisle on 25 June 2025, Lam Yai managed a Class 1 success at Doncaster on 25 October 2025, a top-tier race that proved the horse belongs among the best. Yet that win now sits 11 months in the past, and recent form tells a concerning story: across the last six races, Lam Yai has managed only one second place finish and a third, with three runs outside the placings altogether.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes Lam Yai interesting is its performance in Class 1 company. When pitched against the very best, the horse has won 1 of 3 races — a 33% win rate that suggests genuine ability at the elite level. That Doncaster victory was a statement moment. But consistency has been the problem. Jockey Clifford Lee, who has ridden Lam Yai five times, has been in the saddle for 1 win, a 20% win rate that reflects the broader pattern. Trainer K. R. Burke, based at Coverham in North Yorkshire and a prolific operator with 145 winners this season from his yard, will be hoping the horse can find its form again. With only one outing in the last 11 months that resulted in victory, Lam Yai needs to prove it can recapture that Doncaster winning thread — because the ability is clearly there, it just needs to show up more often.
