Victoria Milano
At eight years old, she has now gone 30 months without a win, a drought that stretches back to February 2024 when she won at Sandown Park. Over 18 races, she has won twice and finished in the frame seven times, a record that speaks to modest but steady ability. But something has shifted. In her last six races she has not won once, managing only a pair of places and a run of disappointing efforts, though she was not without hope at Uttoxeter and Bangor recently.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Her trainer, Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero, have not given up on her. The yard—based at Oldcastle in Cheshire and already responsible for 43 winners this season—suspects the problem may be physical rather than mental. A wind operation has been scheduled to address what they believe has been holding her back. The trainer's notes hint at what made Victoria Milano worth backing before: she was consistent, she had found a level that suited her, and she travelled well in her races even when the result did not come. The problem is that her signature race—the win at Sandown—has not been repeated. At Class 4 level, where she has competed most, she has managed just one win from ten races. That is a thin win rate for a horse of her experience and age, but recent form suggests she may have been running below her best. If the operation works and she rediscovers even a fraction of last season's form, Victoria Milano could be worth watching. For now, she remains a work in progress for a yard that clearly believes she still has something to offer.
