Vega's Virtue
Eight races into its career and Vega's Virtue is only just starting to show what it can do. The three-year-old has won 1 race from 8 outings — roughly 1 in every 8 tries — with two places alongside that, and a record like that can look modest on paper. But the direction of travel matters just as much as the numbers, and the recent form tells a more encouraging story.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That sole win came at Ripon on 28 May 2026, and since then Vega's Virtue has followed it up with a third and a first — suggesting the Ripon victory wasn't a fluke but the start of a horse finding its feet. The most recent run was just yesterday, so this is a horse right in the middle of its season, being kept busy and improving with racing.
The trainer behind it is Tim Easterby, based at Great Habton in North Yorkshire. Easterby is no small operation — 128 winners already this season is a serious number, the kind of output that puts a yard among the most productive in the country. When a trainer of that scale keeps running a horse, it usually means they believe there is more to come.
