Orandi

What makes Orandi genuinely worth watching is his love of soft, wet ground. On those boggy days when other horses are struggling to find their footing, Orandi has won 2 from 5 races, a win rate of 40 percent — a dramatic jump from his overall 12 percent win rate. That is the kind of specificity that clever trainers and punters hunt for. A J Martin's yard at Summerhill, which has sent out 13 winners this season, clearly understands that Orandi's days are best counted in wet weather.

Recent form tells an interesting story. After a run at Galway just this week, which was a win, Orandi came home 11th in his most recent outing. But that sole win at Galway on 28 July 2026 was his first success in nearly two and a half years — his previous win came at The Curragh back in May 2024. Long gaps between wins are tough, but they also suggest that when conditions align and the ground is right, Orandi remembers what winning feels like. For a horse that has been racing for this long without finding consistent success, the wet ground and the right track matter more than almost anything else.
