Arcturus Flame

Arcturus Flame is a 4-year-old with a familiar racing profile: one decent day and a long, quiet existence since. The horse broke through at Nottingham on 9 April 2025, securing its only win from 17 races so far. That victory came 17 months ago, and nothing has clicked quite the same way since. Over the last six races, Arcturus Flame has finished second twice and third once, but mostly found itself out of the placings — a pattern that suggests the horse can run respectably on its day without quite being able to string results together.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The numbers hint at what Arcturus Flame does best. When the race distance stretches between 1m1f and 1m2f, the horse has won 1 of 5 races (a 20% win rate), compared to its overall 1 in 17. Similarly, in lower-level Class 5 races, it has won 1 of 6 (17%), suggesting the horse competes more competitively against modest opponents over slightly longer distances. James Owen's Newmarket yard, which has sent out 205 winners this season, trains the horse and continues to give it regular opportunities — a vote of confidence, at least, in its ability to run.

Recent form tells a different story. Arcturus Flame raced just a day ago and has not won in its last six outings. Jockey Finley Marsh, its most regular partner, has ridden it in six races without a single victory. The gap between that April 2025 win and now is long enough to make you wonder whether Arcturus Flame simply caught a good race that day or whether something has shifted. Still, a couple of second-place finishes in the recent sequence suggest the horse has not lost form entirely — it is still competitive enough to challenge for placings, even if the wins have dried up.
