Raspoutine
Raspoutine remains a work in progress at three years old, but there are signs that the right track and distance could unlock something special. The horse has won just once in ten races—that sole victory came at Lingfield Park back in April—yet the details matter more than the bare numbers suggest. Over trips between one mile and one furlong and one mile and two furlongs, Raspoutine has won 1 of 5 races, a 20 percent win rate that stands well above the career average of 10 percent. This is where the horse belongs, and trainer
Fergal O'Brien clearly understands that; his Gloucestershire yard has sent out 90 winners already this season, so there is active, purposeful management here rather than drift.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form tells a mixed story. Raspoutine came seventh last time out just yesterday, but before that was second twice in four races—the kind of consistent placing that suggests the horse is competitive at its right level and can jump up on the day. Five months without a win is a long drought, true, but that April success at Lingfield remains the template: find a similar race at a similar distance on a course that seems to suit, and Raspoutine could easily strike again. At this age and with only ten races under the saddle, the horse is still learning where it fits in the pecking order. The next target should be picked with the same care that brought that first win, because the evidence is there that this three-year-old performs best when asked to go between a mile and a couple of furlongs.
