The standout fact about Thapa VC is its love of wet, muddy ground. On slow conditions, the horse wins roughly 1 in every 3 races it runs, which is significantly higher than its overall average. That is a genuine strength, the kind of detail that matters when a trainer is planning where to send a horse next. The horse also has a soft spot for Bath, where it has won twice from six races — nearly 1 in 3 again. At Class 5 level, where it contests most of its races, Thapa VC has won 9 of 39 races, a 23% win rate that shows it is genuinely competitive at that grade. Rob Hornby has ridden the horse 16 times, though the partnership has only produced two wins, suggesting the best results may come with different jockeys in the saddle. The horse only raced a day ago, so is clearly being kept active, and there is every reason to think it will add to its tally when conditions align.
