The Vegas Raider
In 29 races, the horse has won just once—at Ballinrobe on 12 August 2024—and finished in the places (second or third) five times. That's a win rate of roughly 1 in every 29 races, which tells you this is a horse that operates at the lower end of the racing ladder and will take significant effort to win with.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The striking thing about The Vegas Raider is how long it has been since that single victory. Twenty-five months have passed since that win at Ballinrobe, and in the six races since then, the horse hasn't managed to finish in the top three even once. Recent form shows a run last time out that resulted in 10th place, preceded by a 2nd place finish before that—so there are glimpses of competitive form, but nothing has clicked into a win. For a horse this age without the racking up the victories, every race matters, and current active status (last raced just one day ago) suggests the yard are still looking for that elusive second win. Whether The Vegas Raider will find it remains to be seen, but the long drought since August 2024 suggests it may take some time.
