Mount Ruapehu
In 54 races, the horse has won 6 and placed 16 times, which works out to a win rate of roughly 1 in every 9 races—respectable but hardly thrilling. Yet dig into those victories and a clear picture emerges. Three of those six wins came at Southwell, and here is where Mount Ruapehu stops being ordinary: it has won every single time it has raced there, three from three. That kind of perfect record at any track suggests the horse knows exactly what it is doing on that particular surface, and Southwell clearly suits it.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse loves normal ground conditions. Put it on a standard racetrack and it wins roughly 5 times in every 12 races (a 42% win rate), which is genuinely strong form. Its most recent victory came at Southwell on 28 April, six months ago, but the horse has fallen out of form since then, managing nothing better than a fourth place in its last six races. Andrew Slattery has been its main jockey, though they have managed just one win from 18 races together, suggesting the partnership has not quite clicked. Mount Ruapehu is trained by Iain Jardine at Carrutherstown, and the yard has sent out 57 winners this season, so it is operating within a competent setup. The challenge now is whether Mount Ruapehu can rediscover the form that made it nearly unbeatable at Southwell. If it can get back to a track where it has that perfect record, there is every reason to think it will be competitive again.
