Valsorpresa
Valsorpresa is an 8-year-old who has made hard work of finding the winner's enclosure, managing just 1 win from 20 races — that's a win rate of 5%, or roughly 1 in every 20 outings. That sole victory came at Downpatrick back in April 2024, now over two years ago, and nothing since has come close to matching it.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form makes for difficult reading. Over the last six races, the best finish has been fifth, with a ninth, an eleventh, and a fifteenth scattered in between — consistent enough to suggest the horse is running, but not quite finding the pace when it matters. Racing just yesterday, Valsorpresa is clearly still an active campaigner, and at 8 years old there's no suggestion of winding down just yet.
What keeps things mildly interesting is that Downpatrick win. One win from 20 races is a modest career by any measure, and the two-year gap since that victory tells its own story. Whether the team finds a race that suits well enough to add to that tally remains to be seen, but the form line right now doesn't point strongly in that direction.
