War Gaming
War Gaming is two years old and still looking for a breakthrough. The horse has run four times without a win, though it has finished in the places—second or third—in all four outings. Most recently, War Gaming came third, then third again, then third once more before a second-place finish a day ago. That sequence of near-misses tells the story: the horse is competitive and clearly belongs in races, but hasn't quite had the luck or the final kick needed to get its nose in front.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by George Scott at Newmarket, War Gaming is part of a yard that has already sent out 52 winners this season—a sign of a busy, successful operation. For a two-year-old still chasing that first win, being in a yard with that kind of form and attention to detail is a real asset. War Gaming is active right now and still racing regularly, so there's every chance another opportunity to break through is not far away.
