Put Vitalline in a lower-tier race—the sort of Class 6 event that makes up the bread and butter of British racing—and the horse transforms into something altogether more capable. In those easier races, Vitalline has won 4 of 31 starts, a rate of better than 1 in 8, which is genuinely strong for this level. Better still, introduce slow or muddy ground and the horse becomes genuinely dangerous, winning 2 of 14 races on the soft stuff—a 14% win rate that stands out sharply from its overall numbers. This is the classic profile of a horse with a clear preference: soft ground plus fair company equals a real chance.
The partnership with jockey Josephine Gordon has yielded 3 wins from 26 races together, a rate of 12% that suggests real understanding between rider and horse. Trainer Keiran Burke, operating from Whitcombe in Dorset, has kept Vitalline active and competitive into its eighth year, with the yard having sent out 12 winners this season. Vitalline's last win came at Kempton Park on 4 March 2026, seven months ago now, and the horse has not found the winner's circle in its last six races. Still, raced last just a day ago, Vitalline remains sound enough to race and can be dangerous whenever the ground turns soft and the opposition is of a similar modest standard.
