Raging Al

The horse races most often with jockey James Davies, but even that partnership has failed to produce results, with the pair going five races without a victory. Raging Al typically competes in Class 5 races, which are among the lower tiers of professional racing, yet has still failed to win at that level across eight attempts. It is trained by Tim Vaughan's yard at Aberthin in the Vale of Glamorgan, a stable that has sent out nine winners this season, suggesting the operation is competent—which makes Raging Al's lack of success all the more puzzling. At this point, the horse faces an uphill task to ever reach the winner's circle, and the yard will need to find a new angle, whether that means a change of jockey, dropping to even lower-level races, or a fresh approach altogether.
