Raatea

Raatea is a 9-year-old horse in the twilight of its racing career, and the numbers tell a story of steady decline. Its last victory came at Newcastle on 14 October 2025, now eleven months in the past. Since then, across six recent runs, Raatea has finished out of the winning frame each time, though it has shown occasional flashes: a fourth-place finish and two third-place finishes suggest it can still run respectably on its day.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The horse has won just once at Class 2 level—one win from 15 attempts—which is the grade it typically races in. That single top-level win, a Newcastle triumph on 25 June 2022, was also its debut victory, a spark that never truly ignited into a winning career. Newcastle, on artificial surface, appears to be its happy hunting ground: two of its three career wins have come at that track. Trainer Julie Camacho, based in Norton, North Yorkshire, has a productive yard that has sent out 46 winners this season, but Raatea remains something of a puzzle—inconsistent enough that recent jockey Ryan Sexton, who has ridden it five times, has yet to experience a winner aboard.

At nine years old and with no wins in nearly a year, Raatea is a horse that has simply failed to develop into a reliable performer. It competes regularly, which speaks to its soundness and durability, but the long gap since its last victory suggests the yard may be running out of reasons to keep it in training much longer.
