Lars Soldier
Lars Soldier is a two-year-old with one win to his name, though the horse has shown enough promise to suggest there is more to come. The colt won at Navan five weeks ago on 5 September—his only victory from ten races so far—but has been in the money in three other races, meaning he finishes in the frame roughly 4 times out of every 10 attempts.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His recent form tells a story of a horse still finding his feet. Over his last six runs, Lars Soldier has come fifth, tenth, first, then three fifths in a row—a wobble that suggests he might be struggling to build momentum or facing stiffer competition. He was last seen just a day ago, so the yard are keeping him active and racing regularly rather than giving him time off to develop. That approach can work for some young horses; for others, it risks running them into the ground before they mature. Michael Mulvany, his trainer at Kells in County Meath, has had a decent season with 19 winners, so the yard clearly knows what it is doing, even if Lars Soldier has not yet become one of its success stories. There is still plenty of racing ahead for this colt—time to find the form that produced that September win and prove it was not a one-off.
