The recent form makes for tough reading. Across the last five races, Ri Ra has finished eighth, thirteenth, missed one race, seventh, and ninth. That single place finish — that second — stands out as the high point of a career that has otherwise struggled to make an impression. Finishing in the top half of a field has been the exception rather than the rule.
What you can say in Ri Ra's favour is that it is still active and still turning up. It raced just yesterday, which at least speaks to a horse that is sound and in training. At eight, time is not on its side, but horses have surprised people before. For now, though, the record says it all — no wins from five attempts, and a hill to climb if that is ever going to change.
