Port Rashid
Port Rashid is 15 years old and still racing — which tells you something about the horse's durability, if not its dominance on the track. The record reads like a long apprenticeship that never quite paid off: one win and three top-3 finishes from 17 races is a tough return, less than one win every 17 outings. That single victory came at Thurles in February 2023, and in the 44 months since, Port Rashid has not found the winner's circle again, though it has managed to finish in the top 3 twice more.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The most recent form is typical of a horse past its best. In the last six races, Port Rashid has finished 4th, missed the placings twice, then run 7th, 9th, and 7th again. Miss J Townend has been its regular rider, and they have some history together—15 races and a single win, a 7 percent win rate that is fractionally better than Port Rashid's overall win rate but not by much. At this stage of its career, with nearly four and a half years since its last victory, Port Rashid is a horse running on habit and staying power rather than competitive edge. It remains active, but the clock is ticking for any kind of return to the winner's enclosure.
