Washington Heir
Washington Heir is a 4-year-old horse trying to find his feet in a competitive division. With just one win from eleven races so far, he has won roughly once every eleven outings, though his recent record suggests he is competitive enough to pick up places regularly. Of his last six races, he has finished second, third, placed, and failed to finish the frame just twice — he raced only three days ago — which hints at a horse who is closer to breaking through than the statistics alone suggest.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
That solitary victory came at Brighton on 9 June, and it remains his only win to date. Three months have passed without another success, though he has collected four places across those dozen or so races, which keeps him in the mix. When he steps into the highest-class races he contests — Class 5 events — he has won none of his three attempts there, suggesting that step up in standard is currently beyond him. He is trained by Tony Carroll at Cropthorne in Worcestershire, a yard in fine form this season with 136 winners already sent out. Given that Washington Heir is at least finishing close to the action regularly, there may yet be another win in him if the right race comes along and the odds fall his way.
