Von Trotter
Seven races in, Von Trotter is still looking for that first win — but this three-year-old isn't without promise. The career record reads zero wins from seven races, with three places to show for the effort, and the recent form tells an interesting story on its own. Back-to-back second-place finishes earlier in the campaign suggested a horse capable of mixing it at the sharp end, but the last four races have gone less well, with finishing positions of 14th, 10th, 7th, and 6th. That's a horse that found its level briefly and then seemed to lose its way a little — not unusual for a young horse still finding its feet.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What works in Von Trotter's favour is the yard behind it. Michael and David Easterby, training out of Sheriff Hutton in North Yorkshire, have sent out 55 winners already this season — that's a serious operation with plenty of firepower, and they clearly know how to place a horse to give it its best chance. When a team like that keeps running a horse that hasn't won yet, it usually means they still believe there's a win in it somewhere.
Von Trotter raced just yesterday, so it's right in the thick of an active campaign. Whether the Easterbys can find the right opportunity to get this horse its head in front remains to be seen, but with those two placed efforts already on the record, the ability is clearly there somewhere. The question is whether it can put everything together on the right day.
