Raydamann

Across 24 races, Raydamann has won twice and finished in the places nine times — meaning it has given its supporters something to cheer, or at least something to collect on, in nearly half of all its races. The win rate sits at around 1 in every 12 races (8%), which is modest, but the place record tells a more flattering story. This is a horse that competes, that stays involved, that does not simply fade into the background.

The key to getting the best from Raydamann is distance. Over two miles or more, it has won 2 of its 11 races at that trip — a win rate of 18%, or roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 races. That is more than double its overall record, and it matters. When races are run at a genuine test of stamina, Raydamann moves into a different category of performer. Its first career win came at Clonmel in April 2025, and it followed that up with a win at Sligo on 9 June 2026, just five weeks ago. The Sligo victory is the most recent and most relevant data point: this horse is in form right now.

The recent run of figures tells a slightly mixed story — two blanks sandwiched around that Sligo win, with a tenth-place finish the most recent run just a day ago. Sam Ewing has been the regular partner, riding Raydamann in 7 of its races and winning once together, a 14% win rate that works out at roughly 1 win in every 7 rides. That is a reasonable partnership at this level. What is clear is that when conditions and distance align — a long trip, a track that suits — Raydamann has shown it can win. That is more than can be said for plenty of horses that pass through even the best yards without ever troubling the scoreboard.
