Torfrida
Torfrida has been a steady if unspectacular campaigner for
Pam Sly's Thorney yard, mixing occasional moments of promise with long stretches of disappointment. The 6-year-old has managed just one win from 13 races—a victory at Doncaster back in May 2023—and has now gone 40 months without another, a testament to how rare the winning post has become. With five places alongside that solitary triumph, Torfrida wins roughly 1 in every 12 or 13 races, a win rate that tells you this is a horse operating at a modest level, most often competing in Class 5 contests where it has won just 1 of 9 starts.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form is uninspiring. Across the last six races, Torfrida has managed one place—a fourth-position finish—with nothing else to show for the effort. Shane Kelly, the horse's most frequent jockey, has ridden it seven times and managed one win, suggesting no obvious spark between horse and rider. Yet Sly's yard remains active and competitive this season with seven winners already sent out, so there remains at least the possibility of turning things around. Torfrida was only just in action a day ago, so the team is clearly persisting with it despite the long dry run. At this stage, though, it is hard to make a case for anything other than a horse whose best days—modest as they were—lie firmly behind it.
